In June 2014, CWCkiforums user SkyRaider91 began leaking 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 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.

Transcription (Chris's writing in italics)

NAME Christian W. Chandler DATE 2/3/99 CLASS PERIOD 7 STUDENT WORKBOOK For use with Chapter 1 Section 2 Text Pages 24-33 [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 (Continued on next page) Copyright © Glencoe THE DEVELOPING CHILD Student Workbook 13 NAME     DATE     CLASS PERIOD     Chapter 1, Section 2 continued Describing Development 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. Characteristic of development development builds on earlier learning [corrected in red pen: "interrelated"] 14 THE DEVELOPING CHILD Student Workbook Copyright © Glencoe

Help This Unborn Child

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.	”
Chris, describing in a typed essay that the empathy belly rubbed his penis

Transcription

[graded 30/30] Christian W. Chandler. 4/12/99 Parenting, 7. 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...	”
Chris

“	"Very confusing + unclear."	”

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. Note that Chris misquotes the famous line from Kennedy's inaugural address.

Warm Fuzzies

• 
• 

A page in which Chris's classmates wrote positive things about him, presumably as a teacher-mandated attempt to bring each other "Warm Fuzzies" and promote acceptance among the class. Most of his classmates clearly stuck by the adage "If you don't have anything nice to say, give a light, generic compliment instead."

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.

Transcription

Christian W. Chandler 2/11/99 English, 1 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... Christian W. Chandler 2/12/99 English, 1 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.

Christian W. Chandler 3/10/99 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, 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").

Getting Acquainted

• 

A bingo-like "icebreaker" activity in which the students of the class were supposed to get to know each other by exchanging personal trivia. Chris apparently only talked to his female classmates, left the grid incomplete, and didn't even fill out the "free" square in the center (his favorite color).

Chris would go on to ignore many of the lessons from this kitchen safety worksheet, allowing him to slip on cat shit in the kitchen and burn down his house by plugging in a coffee maker to an extension cord in the bathroom.

An outline on kitchen safety. As with the worksheet, Chris failed to absorb most of the guidelines here, unless "putting bandages on our Mom's holey buttocks" counts as "[guarding] against pests/bugs".
