If they're real, the Peter Nguyen ones are brilliant stuff from a bored student, but not stupid.

I have a good essay story though.

During my student teaching my lead teacher showed me an essay written by one of her students the year before. The topic was what you did over the summer, and was basically meant to assess the writing abilities of the incoming freshmen.

In it, this freshman described how he joined an inner-city rap group meant to inspire kids growing up in tough neighborhoods. The name of the group was "Rapping for Jesus" and I guess they have programs all over the country. In this essay, this student mentioned "Rapping for Jesus" over a dozen times. However, he forgot a very important part of the first word--one of the P's. So, throughout the essay were sentences like, "Raping for Jesus was the best part of my summer by far" and "I really enjoyed Raping for Jesus and seeing the look in the faces of the children who came to watch us."
