Why?

Really people...what is the need of a research paper? Students don't want to do them nd teachers don't want to read them...so let us stop torturing ourselves and be free. Countless reseach papers have been returned to me with coffee or chicken stains on them, holes in the paper; and some have not been retured at all. You can count the amount of red spots on your paper indicating the paper has been read and understood rather than skimmed through. or on the reverse you can't help but notice the amount of red ink on the paper correcting tedious MLA for formats and annoying work citations or simply teachers disagreeing with your opinoin. For all these reasons, i ask waht is the point of these blasted things.
