With today’s technology, many students and parents are exploring the non-traditional means of getting an education. These student’s, known as the ‘iGeneration’ have been surrounded by new technologies that were available to many of us in the past. Things such as the Internet, cellular phones, instant messaging, etc.
Now, students have the opportunity to complete their schooling online. This can be used for parents who choose to home school, students who are excelling and what something more challenging, of simply those who are struggling to keep up because of hectic life schedules.
In a recent online learning student survey, it was found that:
- 72% of online students spend three or more hours on homework per week vs. 56% of students in traditional schooling.
- 54% of online students get more challenges when they are doing well in school vs. 49% of students in traditional schooling.
- 58% of online students get more help when they fall behind vs. 40% of students in traditional schooling.
- Online students have more interest in attending a four year college after graduation than students in traditional schooling. 78% vs. 67%

I received a phone call from my mom today.
The conversation went something like this:
Mom: “I was just on Facebook, and BLANK commented on a photo on one of her friend’s pages of her friend and her new boyfriend. You are never going to guess who she is dating.”
Me: “Sperm Donor #1?
Mom: “Yes. And everyone is leaving comments about how cute they are together and that he’s such a great guy.”
Me: “I’m almost home and I’ll check it out.”
I sat down in front of my computer and pulled up the picture.
This is what I saw:
(Of course, I have edited to protect their true identities.)
And of course, here are the comments that went with it:
(I once again, of course, am protecting the identities of other people.)
So after having left that last comment on there, I was shocked to get a reply from her.
I thought I’d be immediately deleted.
Instead, she replied with:
And then, she blocked me.
But of course, me being me, that didn’t stop me.
She may have blocked me from commenting but I could still send a message.
So, I did.
And the conversation went like this:
For some reason, I have yet to receive a reply from her.
I’m not going to hold my breath.
She’ll learn her lesson in due time.
Until then, she can have him.
I’m just thankful he can’t knock her up!
And then my mom popped up on Facebook informing me that my comments on the picture had been deleted.
I was in shock.
This new girlfriend is in denial.
And the dumb woman of the year award goes to………..Sperm Donor #1′s New Girlfriend
