'Student Need'

According to the
spokesman's estimates, Term
Paper Research controls 5% of
the term paper-producing
business in the country. The
biggest demand for papers
seems to be from Washington,
Boston, and California.

"There is a great need for
our type of business, especially
in urban schools where many
students have jobs," the
spokesman asserted. "Their
homework time is limited; they
don't have time to prepare
papers."

"Term papers are just b–s–
anyway," he continued.
"Students just rehash the work
of other researchers; the kid
doesn't learn anything new
unless he knows nothing about
the subject to begin with."
