Three Foot Johnson Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Early in grade school, probably 1st grade, the teacher handed out an assignment with several rectangles with a line dividing each one into two. Beside each box, two colors were printed; Red/Green, Brown/Orange, Yellow/Black, etc. She explained how to do it, using the first one as an example - color one half red and the other half green, then do all the rest the same way. I thought it was a trick assignment or something, and did them all the same way - half red and half green. I did exactly what she said, and got an F, of course. I was absolutely crushed, which is probably why I remember it to this day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 That third one deserves to fail. It plainly says write < or >, and he just wrote or. Can't follow directions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Kit Cool Gun Garth Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 One of my favorite memories involved writing a short essay on a subject I don't recall. What I do recall is trying to mimic those areas of the report that were originally in italics. (I guess I was ahead of my time) To accomplish this, I wrote the words in cursive, BUT with a jiggle to them. Something like this: When my teacher graded my essay she became quite concerned asking if I was having some sorry of seizure at the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there is the one where the carpenter's apprentice was being shown how to drive a large spike. His boss told him he would hold the nail, "And when I nod my head, you hit it with the hammer!"

Doc McCoy, SASS #8381 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I would never have given those types of answers. I went to parochial school, and wanted to survive the experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South-Eye Ned Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Whether in grade school, college, or graduate school did it never pay off to be a smart-ass with my homework, quiz, or test answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
