The first thing in class this morning my students laughed. I just typed to them on my computer and let the projector display my comments all over the wall. Then, after no one had any questions, I gave them a test. No more laughter.

BWAHAAHAAHAA except from ME!!!

BRAVO!

My wife handed back a test yesterday. She prefaced it by telling them "the test was a perfect Bell curve." They groaned.

She's actually had a parent call and argue that "my daughter's 'A' wasn't high enough." But she holds her ground. It does make me wonder about some homeschool parents who can't deal with the fact that their precious child screwed up on a test.

Last week she had more than one student miss a matching question about the author of the short story the test was about.

It was an open book test.
