Straight Lines

The students here at Bakhita, whether they are in College, Secondary, from the village, or from the city, love straight lines.  They always have a ruler available or know exactly who they can borrow one from so they can seperate all of their answers with perfectly straight, clear, horizontal, and vertical lines intersecting at perfect 90 degree angles.  The answers they are outlining are...well,....sometimes they're good.  However, usually they are...somewhat...lacking in relevance to the question asked, and their penmanship is...well, it's bad.  But their straight lines, beautiful.
