skymama 37 #1 September 23, 2003 If you want a divorce in the state of Florida and have children, you are required to take a parenting class. I am taking the class right now online. It is the biggest farce! I have to read the material and get a 70% on 20 questions. Plus, I have to spend a certain amount of time on each section before I can go to the next one. The stupid part is that the questions are at the end of each page and they are so easy, you don't even have to read the material! Here is a sample question: True or False Parents should encourage their children to love and respect the other parent. Duh! So far I've gotten a 100% (yea me!) and all the answers have been True. I'm sensing a pattern here. The final stupid part of this is the timed part on each section. It tells you how long you have to spend on each page and has a convenient timer for you. I have 1:09 left before I can move onto Module 3. Look how well I'm using my time! The worst part about this is that I have to pay $35.00 for this crap! She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Remster 30 #2 September 23, 2003 QuoteParents should encourage their children to love and respect the other parent. Careful... It might be a trick question.... At least they should throw a couple of negatives in there to make it a bit mor challenging... Parents never should not disencourage their children to not love and/or not respect their other parent. I think thats better....Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jfields 0 #7 September 23, 2003 That sounds about as useful as the driving class I had to take years ago after getting a ticket on Ft. Bragg. There were like a dozen of us sitting there while some total moron spouted off nonsense at us for a day. It was annoying as hell, but it was required. Sample Question: If you drive 300 miles at 75 miles per hour and the speed limit was 50, how much time did you save? Sample Answer From Instructor: None, you evil naughty speeder, because speeding is bad. You are a bad person, which is why you are in this class. Never, ever, ever speed again. Real World Answer: Two hours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
