WELL I'M GLAD YOU ASKED! Because you get to get away from your parents breathing down your neck for one. \:D/ It's always nice to have that place to go away from home to get away and hang out with friends everyday, even if you have to go take tests and stuff there. Secondly, it gives you a better understanding of a wide range of people therefore better social skills to interact with others in the real world, yeah, I know homeschooler's do that kind of thing where they go meet up with other homeschoolers...but doesn't that seem counterproductive to put a bunch of socially awkward kids together? ;) And third, it prepares you for college. Because I'm sure nobody plans to go to home college. ;) I went to public school and I'd say I turned out just fine...and sometimes homeschool is just an excuse for parents to be lazy. >_> Sometimes.

Though, homeschool also prepares you for college, because you are forced to do things on your own and have the self-motivation to get it done.

I would also agree that the birthday committee should be kept.

If you could pick any color other then red what color would you change the Mayor/Chief of Police's names to?

Technically we can pick. I would pick green, but the moderators already have that one. :/ And yeah Dan, they used to be some other color...I forget what though.

Ah yes, the better announcement box where you could actually tell if anything was new.

Haha no doubt bren. Jelly actually brought it up to me a few weeks ago and I kinda brushed it off because I supposed there still wasn't a mod for it. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. If it had been available a long time ago we probably wouldn't have ever used to announcement box. But I wonder if we can still implement the announcement box and this somehow, perhaps make the announcement box smaller so the globals and the box will take up the same space.... :-k anything's possible. Because the box still has it's uses.
