Possible answers included: the cable guy, the mailman, the cab driver, the bartender and the guy at the club.

It’s clearly the “guy at the club”. The others are all fictional because they HAVE A JOB.

Amazing, but, sadly, likely a large percentage of the children in this school district can personally relate to the question.

I notice that “the teacher” was left off the list of suspects.

Just a minute! WHY does the teacher assume the child has a dad at all? How do we know the child isn't from one of those "two mom" families??????

Yeah but she can put anyone on the birth certificate and he has to pay child support. She better go for the deep pockets.

The truly amazing thing is, only one parent complained!
And the “teacher’s” excuse is sooo lame...

The biology test in question was dealing with DNA and blood types.
If the students are going to be quizzed on such hereditary details (without volunteering personal information, i.e. their own parents’ blood type, their blood type, etc.), how do you present examples that would be understood by a 9th grader?
A blood stain was obtained at a murder site. The blood type obtained was AB, the victim had type O blood. Which of the following people can be eliminated from the suspect list? The Butcher, The Cable Guy, Guy At The Bar, etc?
A car accident has occurred and Grandma Betty needs a lifesaving transfusion. Betty has type O- blood. Her grandchildren (including a blended family of adopted children and children from another marriage) have blood types AB, B, O+,etc. who should be brought to the emergency room to save gram gram?
Parentage (and mistaken identity) would appear to be the simplest (and least gory) scenario to describe.

The correct answer is likely the crack dealer on the corner who fathered the entire neighborhood.
