First, I was shocked he was still there. He was old when I was in his class! :) Second, I feel there is no replacing a good book and actually writing a research paper. Honestly, I hated him - I had him for both Jr. & Sr. English. However, I was way ahead of my peers in college because I could write a research paper in proper format, etc. He may be old and rigid and will never use the internet for anything - but you'll appreciate him in college! Other courses could definitely use technology to teach - I just don't think you can with English. As a former GHS student, I have to defend Mr. Lawson. First, I was shocked he was still there.

Although, it will never happen while Mr. Lawson is still there. If GHS were to take this up, they would have my full and undivided attention.
