A typically brief essay for Social Studies class in which Chris explains why John F. Kennedy was the best modern president. Both a rough draft and a final draft are included, and both include teacher corrections. Both drafts are typed. Chris received a final grade of 43/50, plus an additional ten points because it was typed. Whether this grade was deserved will be left as an exercise for the historian.

The best President from Franklin Roosevelt to Bill Clinton ''is'', [teacher circled this and the word "had" in next two paragraphs and wrote "const. tense" in margin] John F. Kennedy. Kennedy is the best because he gave the role of Presidency new heights. Three good qualities of Kennedy are that he ''had''[teacher crossed this out and wrote "possessed"] moral integrity, leadership, and intellect.


Kennedy had integrity when he was President. For one thing, he was honest about his qualities for president. He was a democrat, 42-years old when he ran, he was a congressman and a senator, had a wealthy, catholic family, and he was a hero in World War II. Even though those were his drawbacks, he used them as an advantage in his television debut.

Kennedy had leadership when he was a President.

And when he ended the Cuban Missile Strike by putting the country under "quarantine."

Photo of the "obtained" folders.

In June 2014, CWCkiforums user SkyRaider91[1] leaked scans of several documents from Chris' high school classes. Many of the pages appear to be charred and/or water-damaged, likely as a result of the January 2014 fire and subsequent events at 14 BLC.

Parenting

Parenting Interview

Presumably Chris interviewed Barb and/or Bob for this assignment, and most of the answers are short and vague to the point of not making much sense; it's unclear whether Barb/Bob were giving brief answers, or whether Chris was just too lazy to record their full responses. Humorously, the interviewee(s) says that "the hardest part of being a parent" has been "dealing w. public school sys", and that they chose to have children simply because "It's nice to have kids." They also make mention of "laughter from 4 kids and 3 situations", possibly referring to the social stigma that Bob and Barb endured as a result of their respective previous relationships and children.

Describing Development

A worksheet in which Chris was asked to identify one of five characteristics of development exemplified by various situations. Chris only managed to identify half of the characteristics correctly.

[top of page marked "5" (for the number of incorrect questions) and graded "10/20" in red pen, with a circled "3" in magenta ink]

DESCRIBING DEVELOPMENT

DIRECTIONS: Identify the characteristic of development described in each situation. Remember that the characteristics of development are as follows:

  • Development is similar for everyone.
  • Development builds on earlier learning.
  • Development proceeds at an individual rate.
  • The different areas of development are interrelated.
  • Development is continuous throughout life.

1. Jessica is an active three-year-old who enjoys dressing herself. Lately, she has started choosing her clothes each morning. Her parents are amazed at her constart eagerness to learn new things. It seems she never stops wanting to learn.
Characteristic of development development is continuous throughout life.

2. Michael always had trouble in school. He did poorly on tests and was seldom able to answer when the teacher called on him. Some of the other children teased Michael on the playground and called him "dummy". As a result, Michael was very shy and had little self-confidence. Since he has started wearing glasses, however, he has been doing better in school. Now Michael feels good about himself and has been able to make friends more easily.
Characteristic of development development builds it on earlier learning.
[corrected in red pen: "interrelated"]

3. Joshua and Nicole are cousins born two months apart. Although Joshua is older, Nicole began to sit and stand about the same time Joshua did. This has been slightly puzzling to Joshua's parents. They are worried about Joshua's apparently slow rate of development.
Characteristic of development development proceeds at an individual rate.

4. Jim is babysitting his neighbor's son Albert. To Jim, it seems as if it was only yesterday that Albert was crawling on the carpet in the living room. He remembers that Albert then learned to walk and is now running and jumping in the yard.
Characteristic of development different areas of development are interrelated.
[corrected in red pen: "builds"]

5. Ron has been watching his neighbor's daughter Cindy grow at a steady rate since he moved into the neighborhood almost two years earlier. Ron's sister Amy is the same age as Cindy. Ron has

noticed that Amy and Cindy are able to do about the same things. This has been true throughout the two years Ron has lived next door to Cindy's family.
Characteristic of development development is interrelated.
[corrected in red pen: "similiar" [sic]]

6. Maria is helping her younger sister Joanie learn the alphabet. She seems to be catching on quickly. Yesterday, Joanie could even pick some of the letters out of written words in one of her books. Maria knows that soon Joanie will be able to point out a few simple words. Later, she will be able to read short phrases and sound out words.
Characteristic of development developmentis continous throughout life.
[corrected in red pen: "builds"]

7. Rachel, Martha, and Juan are all four-year-olds attending the same child care center. Martha is slightly shorter than the other two children. She is very good at playing with others. Rachel is the tallest of the three and the most coordinated. Juan is somewhere between the two girls in size and likes to play quietly by himself in the sandbox.
Characteristic of development development proceeds at an individual rate.

8. Mark is a senior at his local high school. He has just received a scholarship for his literary achievement. Right now, Mark is looking forward to spring because he plans to run track and hopes to improve his speed from last year. Recently, his Uncle Joseph offered Mark a part-time job at the grocery store he manages. Mark plans to take the job and work until he starts college in the fall.
Characteristic of development development is continous throughout life.

9. Diane and her family spent a month last summer visiting relatives in Canada. Diane spent most of the month playing with her brother Brad and cousin Timothy, both two years old. She found that both boys could run fairly well, stand on one foot, and climb stairs. By the end of the visit, Diane could see that the two children did many things alike. She thought this was surprising since Brad was born in the United States and Timothy was born in Canada, and the two had never met before.
Characteristic of development development is similar for everyone.

10. At playschool one day, four-year-old Terry suddenly burst into tears. He had been given a worksheet to complete, which required him to cut out a simple picture with blunt scissors, paste it to another picture, and color it. Terry knew exactly were to paste the picture, and pasting was an activity he enjoyed. He also liked coloring and had already chosen two colors he would use. But Terry could not complete his picture becase he could not make the scissors work.

Empathy Belly essay

Chris describes the experience of wearing an empathy belly.

...while my legs were separated, it put pressure on my private part, which gave me a strange, weird feeling.

How it was like to wear the Empathy Belly:

Having a belly like a pregnant woman was really an awkward experience. While I wore the belly, I was walking like as if my legs were out of balance. Also, when I tried to get my pencil bag out of my backpack, the belly held me back by putting pressure on my left leg. Luckily my arms were long, but if they were any shorter, I would have had a real problem to reach the pencil bag. And when I laid on the floor and tried to get up, the gravity made the belly put pressure on me, and it made me fall on my right side. Finally, while I was sitting in my chair, the belly made it uncomfortable for me to cross my legs, and while my legs were separated, it put pressure on my private part, which gave me a strange, weird feeling. So, it was quite an experience while I had a belly like a pregnant woman.

Japan War Essay

A wandering, factually inaccurate essay intended to be about Japan and the United States in World War II, which Chris describes as "a very tragic event with guns, insults, and... yuck!". Most of the content is directly quoted from other works (although attributed), and the thesis (if it can be called that) is incredibly vague.

Also note that despite this essay being for his English class, and apparently being corrected on it in the rough draft, Chris wrote parts of the headings in Spanish, including writing his name as Ricardo, on the final draft.

So, the war was started only because the privacy of US was invaded... So, the US and Japan really wanted to get it on.
Christian Weston Chandler, top scholar of WWII history
At near the end of the war, "President Woodrow Wilson tried to get Japan to withdraw from Shandong"... Even the President of the US wanted to put an end to this nasty war.
Chris, not realizing that the sentence that he quoted begins with "At the end of World War I..."
But the real "barbarians," were the Japanese people themselves. The US thought the same way...

Japan, 1912-1949.

This essay is about the second World War, where the US went against Germany and Japan. The war was a very tragic event with guns, insults, and... yuck! Now we will see how Japan was involved, how the past before it affected it, and how the war was started.

Like all fights, the war did not start big, but, "Just a litt [Chris almost forgot to skip a line, but corrected himself] "Just a little skirmish between Japanese troops on night maneuvers and Chinese troops guarding the Marco Polo bridge." (Going to war with Japan, P.3).

...opposite corners of a 5,000-mile ring, waiting for their bout to begin." (War Against Japan, P.7). So, US and Japan really wanted to get it on.

(War Against Japan, P.8). But [illegible] But the real "barbarians," were the Japanese themselves. The US thought the same way, and, "When Japan marched into Manchuria in 1931, the US denounce the action and said they would never recognize Japan's conquest." (Going to war with Japan, P.4). Right then, the US wanted to prove themselves more superior. →

As the war went on, both sides saw that it was unwinnable. "Wartime in Japan was viewed as sinister.",and fanatical soldiers [illegible] (Forum). At near the end of the war, "President Woodrow Wilson tried to get Japan to withdraw from Shandong." (Going to War with Japan,) P.4). Even the President of US tried to put and an end to the nasty war.

SoAnd so, after the war finally ended, US and Japan came into peace, and somemost people from both sides were happy. Now we saw how the war started, and how much Japan was involved.

(War Against Japan, P.8). [teacher wrote "Author" above this as well] But the real "barbarians," were the Japanese people themselves. The US thought the same way, and, "When Japan marched into Manchuria in 1931, the US denounced the actions, and said they would never recognize Japan's conquest." (Going to war with Japan, P.4). [teacher wrote "Author" above this as well] Then, the US wanted to prove themselves more superior.


P.2.

As the war went on, both sides saw that it was unwinnable. "Wartime in Japan was viewed as sinister." (Forum). At near the end of the war, "President Woodrow Wilson tried to get Japan to withdraw from Shandong." (Going to War with Japan, P.4). Even the President of the US wanted to put an end to this nasty war.

[teacher wrote "Restate Thesis" in margin] And so, after the war finally ended, the US and Japan agreed to peace, and most people from both sides were happy. Now, we saw how the war was started, how the past before it affected it, and how much Japan was involved.

Best President Essay

A typically brief essay for Social Studies class in which Chris explains why John F. Kennedy was the best modern president. Both a rough draft and a final draft are included. While the teacher corrected the final draft, all the notations on the rough draft are in Chris's handwriting. Both drafts are typed. Chris received a final grade of 43/50, plus an additional ten points because it was typed. Whether this grade was deserved will be left as an exercise for the historian.

"Who was our best President" essay:

The best President from Franklin Roosevelt to Bill Clinton is, [teacher circled this and the word "had" in next two paragraphs and wrote "const. tense" in margin] John F. Kennedy. Kennedy is the best because he gave the role of Presidency new heights. Three good qualities of Kennedy are that he had[teacher crossed this out and wrote "possessed"] moral integrity, leadership, and intellect.

Kennedy had integrity[teacher circled this and wrote sp. Chris was right on this one!] when he was President. For one thing, he was honest about his qualities for president. He was a democrat, 42-years old when he ran, he was a congressman and a senator, had a wealthy, catholic family, and he was a hero in World War II. Even though those were his drawbacks, he used them as an advantage in his television debut. [teacher wrote "weak support" in margin]

Kennedy had leadership when he was a President. His leadership was expressed when he did two things: when he gave his famous speech, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you could do for your country." And when he ended the Cuban Missile Strike by putting the country under "quarantine."

And[teacher crossed this out] Kennedy had intellect when he was a President. It was obvious; to put $9 billion towards space programs, he probably would have known a possible way to put a man on the moon before he put the money towards it.[teacher wrote, "another example????"]

To sum it up[teacher crossed this out], John F. Kennedy was the best President; he had moral integrity, leadership, and intellect. Compared to the other Presidents from Franklin Roosevelt to Bill Clinton, they could not have said a better speech, or put the money to a better use.

"Who was our best President?" essay (RD): [Rough Draft]

The best President from Franklin Roosevelt to Bill Clinton is, John F. Kennedy. Kennedy is the best, [Chris crossed out this comma] because he gave the role of Presidency new heights. 3 [Chris crossed this out and wrote, "three"] good qualities of Kennedy are that he was honest, a great leader, and pretty smart. [Chris crossed out "was" and replaced these words with "had moral integrety, leadership, and intellect."]

Kennedy was an honest[Here he drew lines to the above handwritten phrase. The paper is cluttered with many other lines meant to incorporate the new phrasing throughout the essay.] president. For one thing, he was honest about his qualities for president. He was a democrat, 42-years old when he ran, he was a congressman and a senator, had a wealthy, catholic family, and a hero in World War II. Even though those were his drawbacks, he used them as an advantage in his television debut.

Kennedy was a great leader. His leadership was expressed when he did two things: when he gave his famous speech, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you could do for your country." And when he ended the Cuban Missile Strike by putting the country under "quarantine."

And Kennedy was a very smart man. It was obvious; to put money towards space programs, he probably would have known a possible way to put a man on the moon before he put the money towards it. [Here Chris wrote, "$9,000,000,000.00"]

To sum it up, John F. Kennedy was the best President; he was honest, a good leader, and pretty smart. Compared to the other Presidents from Franklin Roosevelt to Bill Clintion, they could not have said a better speech, or put the money to a better use.


Warm Fuzzies

Student Life Essay

A rough draft of an essay about how high school students' jobs affect their school performance. For some unknown reason, Chris drew a star at the beginning of each line. An editor (transcribed below in bold; possibly a peer or the teacher) has struck out and corrected some parts of the draft, and ironically made several errors of their own in doing so.

Work vs. Student Life: (w. 1st body): (rd)

Some High School students have jobs. And some students don't. But, between school and work, I beleive that during school years, we can waive work, and Save the problem, physically and grade-wise.

Health concerns may be a risk to those students who are working.

The High School students thatwho have jobs, may could get sick, tired or injured, and could affect their school grades. According to the Man H. S. student work survey, 42% of working students, sometimes oversleep for school. 29% of w-students' grades dropped. 25% students get sick more often. 17%-36% students have a large-moderate amt. of stress]. 34% students...

cont... (rd)

...have people at work who stress them out, and 37% say that it comes from co-workers. And 41% students sleep during class. Therefore, all that supports my theory. These are all factors of how working will effect a students health.

To conclude this essay, I would reccomend that for those students who are interested in a job, to maybe only work on weekends, and wait till the summer to work on weekdays. In fact, according to the survey, if working students had a choice, to quit work or school, 73% said, work is out, school is in. To save on physical and grade-wise problems, we can waive work during the school year.

S.O.L. Test

Chris suggests in this Standards of Learning (SOL) essay that his high school's "seinor" class fund the construction of an indoor swimming pool in the gym as their class gift, demonstrating that he has no concept of how much that would cost. He alludes to gym teachers having "wet-wild" times with the students in the prospective pool; it's unclear whether this is an attempt at innuendo or that Chris genuinely didn't realize how creepy it came across.

S. O. L. Test, 2

S.O.L. Test:

Every year, the Seinor/Graduating class presents a gift for the school. The money for their gift is taken out of the Seinor fund. Usually, each gift is great for the future students, and the school. My idea for a class gift, would be to have an indoor swimming pool built in the gym area.

With the addittion of the swimming pool, it could do great things for the studnets, and the school, and P.E. classes. Since the students have to wait until next summer to cool off, and exercise in a pool, they could keep those legs and arms "seaworthy" with the pool in the gym. It would also be a great option for P.E. classes, besides basketball, jogging, and weight-lifting, the (PE) teachers could have a "wet-wild" time with the students. And the school would have a swim-team, and compete with other "pool-filled" schools.

An indoor pool would be a great benefit for the students, school, and P.E. teachers/classes. That is why I think an indoor-swimming pool would be a great graduation gift for the school.

Spanish

This work is dated 7/12/98, most likely referring to 7 December 1998 using the Spanish date format. Chris used pop culture figures (Pokémon, Sonic, The Powerpuff Girls) to illustrate vocabulary words. Chris's class seem to have watched Spanish dubs of The Powerpuff Girls in class[2], so for once he isn't randomly shoving fictional characters into schoolwork. His Pokémon are revealing: he describes Christian the Charmeleon as muy delgado ("very thin"), Ricardo the Raichu as muy divertido ("very funny"), Cole the Beedrill as muy feo ("very ugly"), and later refers to Ricardo as a bombero ("firefighter").
