  8. It's good they have some humor. I'm an art teacher. Sometimes I get crazy answers on tests.

    1. I can see crazy answers on an art test! Who gives an art test anyway??? Or is this a college art class that we all had to take because of the "liberal arts" label on the college of our choice? LOL!

    1. Me too. Yet, it also makes me glad I am beginning my third year of retirement after many years in the classroom.

  10. LOL! Kid has a sense of humor, hope the teacher did :)

    ReplyDelete

  11. That is funny! Took me a minute, though! lol

    ReplyDelete

  12. Haha, that's hilarious. One thing with being a teacher - never a dull day!

    ReplyDelete

  13. interesting. where do you get these? (:

    ReplyDelete

  14. LOL...come on, thats clever :)

    ReplyDelete

  16. Oh dear. That is taking instructions to their most literal conclusion.

    ReplyDelete

  17. haha they should get extra credit for creativity....

    ReplyDelete

  18. Oh, I am a teacher and I am giggling out loud....

    ReplyDelete

  19. OH-That looks like something my LITERAL daughter would have done! Love it- xo Diana

    ReplyDelete

  21. I am also a teacher and this made me chuckle...we really need to be ABSOLUTELY CLEAR on giving instructions.

    ReplyDelete

  22. Now that is funny. Something I very well could have done. Math was not, nor ever will be my strong suit. lol. Thanks for linking up!

    ReplyDelete

  23. I was terrible at math and this looks like something I'd do. My parents were so worried about me...sorry Mom and Dad.

    ReplyDelete

  24. This is too funny! I had to think about it a minute...they actually did follow the instructions - sort of! Hope you are going to link up to WW this week! This is a great one!

    ReplyDelete

  25. Definite points for following directions! LOL!

    ReplyDelete

  26. LOL that is funny.Although maybe I should not laugh.I was not good at math either.I don't think that would have been my response.

  27. LOL!!! You always find the funniest stuff.

    ReplyDelete

  28. This is hilarious. I'm a retired math teacher and I never saw that before. I think it would be a reteach moment.

    ReplyDelete

  29. ARGH! I teach first grade and I've seen similar answers. It makes me exclaim loudly to whoever's paper I'm grading (even though they're totally not around). Occasionally my husband helps me grade papers and he always hollers for help when he comes across one like this. Man... Sometimes I try to rationalize their answer to no avail. Alright, this gets me in the frame of mind for some teachin'!

    ReplyDelete

  30. Haha I wld have probably done the same at first glance of the qn :p

    ReplyDelete

  31. Chuckle!
    Sorry I have been remiss in visiting, but summer has been swamped with both business & family this year. Stay with me, I'll be back more soon.
    TTFN ~

  32. Retired teacher here...doesn't amaze, but does put a smile on!

    ReplyDelete

  33. That is so funny, the mind of a child works in mysterious ways ;-)
    I always love reading your posts Annmarie!
    Thanks for stopping by the other day, I really appreciate your lovely comments. Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday....

    ReplyDelete

  34. As a professor, sometimes I really appreciate those. They can put a smile on your face and helps the drudgery of grading.

    ReplyDelete

  35. Retired math teacher here and I must confess I had to look at the directions THREE times before I could understand how you people thought the student followed the directions. The third time I didn't "read" them, I just "looked" at them - if that makes sense!

    ReplyDelete

  37. Those are MY kind of answers.

    ReplyDelete

  38. The reason I'm so glad not to be one anymore! :)

    ReplyDelete

  40. That is awesome!! This kid followed the directions! lol

    ReplyDelete

  41. This is a really cool example of kids and how literal they can be. Sometimes our directions miss the point.

    ReplyDelete

  42. That's awesome!!

    Happy WW!

  43. What's the problem? Hehe! Have a blessed evening, HUGS!

    ReplyDelete

  44. I think I'd give this kid an A for having the guts to follow the directions to the letter. Or at least for c!reativity

    ReplyDelete

  50. ahhh! lol! clever child.

  51. Hahaha oh man I remember these days! So glad they're over!

    ReplyDelete

  52. Buahahahaha!!!! Me either! It is tough enough teaching our own kids outside of school!

    ReplyDelete

  54. Well, the instuctions could have been a little more clearer ;)

    ReplyDelete

  56. I think I wont be either. Hehe :-)

    ReplyDelete

  57. LMAO! Just too funny, wish I had thought like this in school ;)

    ReplyDelete

  58. Annmarie... It took me a minute to figure that out myself. We didn't us < and > too much back in the stone ages when I was in school. The kid didn't get it but he did try to follow instructions...in his own limited way! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

    ReplyDelete

  59. ouch that was frustrating to look at !!

    ReplyDelete

  63. Ha ahahahahha ... I was absent the day my 1st grade teacher taught the reading group that know was pronounced with a silent k and w, in that case....She let me read my turn without stopping to teach me those words. I began reading and said it wrong several times before she listened to what I was reading. Hahahhahha...same deal I suspect. I think that child did very well to follow instructions. Hahahahhaa.

    ReplyDelete

  65. This is sooo funny!
    I can still remember my answers way back in elementary :)

    ReplyDelete

  66. It looks like a paper my daughter would turn in! I have one child who is an A star student in maths, and another who goes faint at the mere mention of the subject.

    ReplyDelete

  67. haha! you would find me doing that if I was stuck in Math classes! :-)

    ReplyDelete

  68. Love it! Thankfully, none of my students have tried that. :)

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  76. LOL! Nothing like being literal!!

    ReplyDelete

  77. LOL! My hubby would flip over that! He's a math teacher.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  90. Sadly, I could have pictured myself doing the exact same thing...

    ReplyDelete

  91. That is so funny! I don't know what I'd do if I was a teacher checking answers like that. I might just give the kid an A for cleverness :)

    ReplyDelete

  92. Oy! I can hear the snickers as the kid turned it in ...

    ReplyDelete

  115. It'a after 1 am in the morning right now and this made me laugh so hard. I think Teachers are seriously wired differently than other Humans because the things they have to face sometimes can either make them snap or have a good laugh. This may have been one of those latter moments.
