There are some kids that just absolutely love school, and then these twenty-five who have other clever ways of dealing with it. For example, this student has a legitimate example for not doing their math homework...a duck fell asleep on the calculator. This may not work for every teacher, but this might have earned them some extra time.
Thank you for posting this... I HOWLED! My 9 year old did something similar a few weeks ago. The math question: Suzie has 3 female cats. The cats had a total of fifteen kittens. How many kittens did each cat have?
Answer: Each cat had 5 kittens but this math problem is wrong. Suzie couldn’t have 3 female cats and 15 kittens. She had to have at least 1 boy cat or this didn’t happen.
You can’t argue with her logic. :)
Smart gal! :)
HGtta love #12.
In many cases these kids are not wrong and the questions were poorly written. English is a very specific language.
Your 9-yo is going against the grain of modern leftist schooling. The 3 female cats could have married and obtained the necessary ingredients to have the 15 kittens.
#6 was my favorite! Glad he got 1/2 credit!
:)
Hilarious!
I love how kids think!
