Nobody Knows Responsibility Like Betty
Is the amount of work students are asked to do reasonable? Does it vary?
Betty: Yes, the workload placed on students is reasonable. The workload depends on what an individual student, specifically, is doing. Some students choose to have more work. I remember we asked for more work from our social studies teacher. I don’t know why he didn’t want to give it to us. **For clarification, Betty and myself wrote ten paragraph instead of six paragraph essays for this teacher’s class, which he was unwilling to permit.**
Do you feel like students have too many responsibilities, or not enough responsibilities?
Betty: It depends on what they do. If a student wants more responsibility, there is opportunity to take it.
Hyperventilating, and Betty’s Law Of Entertainment
How do you feel about Disney’s ‘Frozen’?
Betty: [After a brief period of heavy breathing and incoherent noises] The animation was amazing. Olaf…It was perfect in every perfect way. The story was perfect in every perfect way. I like everything about it.
What do you think about the message Disney’s ‘Frozen’ was trying to get across? Was it good?
Betty: Yes, the message that true love comes from family, not a sudden prince you just met, was very good. I wrote that in my review, too. I like it, because it wasn’t just saying, “Oh, you’ll get kissed by a man that you just met and you’ll live happily ever after.” It had Anna’s sister instead, so I liked that part. **For Betty’s review of ‘Frozen’, see The Spark 2013-2014 Winter Edition, page 64.**
What do you like to read right now?
Betty: Harry Potter. I finished ‘The Book Thief’ yesterday during the PSSAs, and today I needed a book to read so I looked in my locker and was like, “Hmm…Harry Potter.”
What do you think of the ‘futuristic dystopian society’ theme?
Betty: I kinda hope that doesn’t happen, because in all those books something goes wrong.
There’s a lot of books out right now that use that theme. Do you think it’s overused?
Betty: It’s fine; all those books are good.

Delving Into the Techno Realm With Experienced Guide, Betty
Do you think teens are “wasting their time” on the Internet, or is the new tech-savvy generation doing all right? What about the social media sites
Betty: Not necessarily. Social media is a little overused. No one that I know sits in a darkened corner, like [mimes being unhealthily immersed in a device].
[Eyebrows raised from several onlookers; a gasp of shock in the distance]
Betty: Well…maybe a little bit. But no one uses the ‘rest of the Internet’, really. The majority of time that teens spend online is on social media sites.
The Terminus of Betty’s Fountain of Expertise
And so, we have reached the close of Betty’s generous and otherworldly breakdown of everything humans have ever wanted to know about anything. Now, I am sure, you are sophisticated, cultured, and are able to pronounce the names of fancy
French hors d’oeuvres. We, as the human race, are forever in the mighty shadow of the great and fantastical Betty Ben Dor.
