Not unlike in my classroom. In the classroom, the most obnoxious 5% can take up 50+% of my time. The rest of the class, who are genuinely good kids, get little 'press', as with the media. College students that have huge, drunken parties with people passed out in the front yard (or doing other things there) get all the press. In my opinion, they are a small percentage. But we never hear about the students that go to class, study, take care of their apartment and only occasionally go to a big drunken party.

Good to see it's a consistent thing across the continent, too!<br /><br />(The good news that I can see in the lost-photo experience is that the fire stayed lit in you, and you continued to record your world through your lens.
