Where you get something for nothing!

- Brain trust -- Set up to teach high school and college students how to communicate effectively through writing, essay located here run the gamut. There are short essays with no sources to long papers complete with footnotes and a bibliography. The selection of essays isn't large, but the quality appears to be good.

Another sad bit of news from them is that their database of essays submitted in the last year has been wiped out. However, with another school year starting, they are sure to be in business again.

The Essay Depot has papers written about sports under the art subject heading. Who would have guessed? Also, the search engine that should provide quick and easy access to keywords doesn't work (at least on 8/11/99). Few, if any, essays contain bibliographies.
- EssayMan -- I couldn't get any essays to actually appear on this web site. There are six main categories from which to chose.

- School Sucks -- "Where the students are students, and the teachers are nervous" is this site's motto. Not only can you find mediocre essays (no bibliographies) but you can also get a schoolsucks email account, server space to put up your Web page and newsgroups to visit. The founder of Schoolsucks, Kenny Sahr, who is often quoted by the media, believes his Web site will foster discussion on how to improve the public school system.
- Smart Essays -- Interesting features for the newer essays are statistics comparative to those created for Microsoft Word documents (like Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level, sentences per paragraph, word count, etc.). Older documents are displayed in text boxes. Keyword searching is available. Bibliographies are not found on many of these essays.
