    “Most teachers say I have messy handwriting but I’m just trying to write quickly so I can get it over with. The assignments don’t make sense.

        Once I had a final essay in English that asked "Is it better to go with the flow or go against the flow?" and required at LEAST three paragraphs in the body. My teacher had just told me, even with a full grade on the essay, I wouldn't be able to pass the class.

        So I wrote about the essay itself, and how ridiculous it was that we kids had to stretch out stupid questions that could easily be answered instead of actual interesting subjects. I went with the flow by writing the essay, yet against the flow by not going by the exact prompt.

        And this is why connecting the dots is so imperative. The teacher has a point. The child has a point. Connect them and both will succeed.

        That's why websites like @HeyPobble and http://Pobble365.com  work so well. My class loved it.
