it certainly would

luckily, camp finally dropped the whole chip thing this year

after all, practicing for chip is inherently pointless...unless you are practicing sucking up to TD's, in which case...

actually, I go to camp not for the practices and nightly competitions (fun though they are), but for the major classes. I went to the Literature 2 class (taught by Mr. Jim Garrick), and I found it to be very valuable. Admittedly, you will not learn as much about one or two books as if you sat down a...

for what it's worth, that wasn't exactly the best ASCN-like set I've every heard as far as the math teacher goes, i'm just saying don't blame the camp.

as long as the trash is kept to 1-2 questions in an NAQT set, I can deal with it, and sometimes, it is nice as a change of pace, or something to laught about however, what I dislike about the question distribution in NAQT sets is the emphasis on Social Studies. I am of the opinion that Social Studie...
