Still trying to come up with a graduation dress? Look no further than your math homework. That's exactly what 17-year-old Canadian student Kara Koskowich did, using almost 75 pieces of paper to make a unique and inexpensive frock.

"For me, it's not a big, spend your money, you have to look this nice, you have to fit into this mold of grad," Koskowich told CBC. "It's supposed to look like an explosion," she added. Koskowich started making the dress in March, but didn't finish until the night before graduation. She stood beside her friend Dorothy Graham, who made her dress out of plastic shopping bags.

"It was actually funny because everyone was wearing these elegant dresses and we're in dresses that cost nothing and we were the most popular people there," Graham told CBC. What do you think of Koskowich's dress? Pretty clever -- or pretty ugly?

but it would not be worth the work. You'd be lucky to get 3 uses out of it. I'd be lucky to make it through the first. Then again I wouldn't be in a dress. Long skirts hide shorts very easily.

It looks like a normal dress. From a distance, I probably wouldn't even know it was made out of paper.

Wow, that's cute and fun! Just don't spill anything on it.
If I had done the same I wouldn't want to see a bunch of bad grades on my dress! I'd have to try it with history or english homework.

the fact that she's talented enough to do it and actually pulls it off quite nicely, I say more power too her.

May if she and other students actually did their homework rather than wear it, we wouldn't have the worst public schools of any western nation.

There are far more problems in public schools than students simply not doing their homework. I think that the traditional style of classroom instruction is flawed. We are behind because students are not educated in the right manner and are not held to high enough standards. Also, there are many ineffective teachers that ought to be fired. Not to mention the fact that many students are simply not capable of excelling in the classroom.

Not all the blame falls on the student for that problem. Some of it, but not all.
