DDecker Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Attached below is problem #3 on a high school geometry examination. The solution was submitted by a beautiful blonde student. It is my understanding that after careful scrutiny, the student was given credit for a correct answer by the teacher. When hearing of this, the Board of Education warned all math teachers in the system to be more explicit from now on in their future wording of examination problems (but the Board was hesitant to suggest just how).

momentousangel Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 ROFL! That was too funny! I did something similar to this when I was in about the fourth grade, ROFL! I still remember that day because I got written up for being a smart alec over it. The teacher told me to write these sentences 100 times as a punishment for not turning in homework on time, well, that is just what I did. I wrote "These Sentences" repeatedly. Teacher didn't think it was too funny and called my dad, dad was a bit shocked and didn't know what to say. LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kle-Karen Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 LOL - yeah, what do ya do in a case like that?? Another of my favorites along the same line: A college essay was to define courage.
