When I was 7, the teacher asked the class why they count sheep by heads. Silence. I said 'Well you wouldn't count their legs and divide by 4'. In the '50s this might have got you a rap on the knuckles, but amazingly I got praise.
@@jacquelinegraham1050 But if we don't, who will run the world in the future? Who will take care of us when we are old and cannot do for ourselves? Who will we leave our inheritance to? Who will change the world?
When I was about five, my dad came in with a drawing I’d done, demanding where I’d heard this word, of course I started crying, I’d drawn a girl with red legs saying, today I had my best tits on! 😂😂😂 I couldn’t spell tights…….eat shit dad! 😂😂
I’m a math teacher and was trying to teach the kids that sum was the answer to addition, difference was the answer to subtraction, product was the answer to multiplication and the quotient was the answer to division. The question asked what is the difference between nine and six? Instead of three, my student wrote “a six is just a nine turned upside down.” He wasn’t wrong. I had to give him full credit. LOL
I guess “difference” has several meanings. Mathematically, the definition of “difference” is how much less one number is than another, but in general, non-mathematical contexts, it just means _what’s the difference?_ Which means what is the difference between these things? What makes them different from each other? And for some people, especially young children, having one word with multiple meanings can lead to confusion and/or miscommunication. In this case, the miscommunication ended up being very funny. Sometimes, it can be annoying that so many English words have so many different meanings each, or when one meaning has a whole bunch of words that match up to it, but it also means that funny moments like this can happen.
Seriously! I had to ponder that one for a minute, then I realized that how he followed instructions was really quite clever! I hope he has teachers who are trained to recognize that children who are autistic are "differently-abled", not disabled. They need teachers who can guide their unique skills at creative thinking. I love this child's approach to the problem, he's seeing things in extra dimensions!
I was a primary school teacher years ago I sake the pupils to draw me something they liked to do, well this wee boy came up to me and handed me a sheet of paper it was covered in green crayon. I asked him what it was his reply had me in hysterics with a look of puzzlement he said “ Well you asked us what we liked to do and I like to go to the PARK”. 😂😂
At 2:24, I'm so happy to see that at least SOME schools are teaching critical thinking skills, such as understanding the meaning of "idiom" and coming up with great examples of how people exaggerate using colorful language. I hope this child's next birthday was "OFF the CHAIN!" or at least "more fun than a barrel of monkeys."⛓🐒🥳
When I was in elementary school, I got in trouble with the teacher because whenever I had to fill out the "How did you get your answer?" box on homework or tests, I would just put "Lucky guess".
Ha, before seeing this I just left a comment on the main comments about Charlotte Thompson Iserbyt and her 1996 book The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America when she saw what kinds of "assignments" her kid was bringing home in the 80s before she got involved in the school education system just after and published her book a decade and some years later. Right on that people see what's up! It's not that we can't laugh at what comes from the mind of a child. But as she saw all the way back then and was exceptionally prophetic about today in her 1996 works, it's no longer about teaching kids critical thinking skills, but deliberately dumbing them down to turn a world of otherwise free and critical thinkers into blind little socialized social servants obedient to the system of schooling (indoctrination) media and government / experts, who know what's best for the masses.
I thought so, too! Frankly, it was *_amazing_* for a 7 year old. And they weren't just generic dinosaurs, but an identifiable T-rex, a stegosaurus (complete with spikes on the tail!), a brontosaurus, and pterodactyls! And palm trees! Hell, I'm 57 and I couldn't draw better than that!
@@Milesco A 7 year old's life experience will probably favor MOTHER, especially if he is as messy as I was at 7. I remember this one. the "correct" answer is "MAGNET". At 7 , I thought magnets were toys, not anything more. I had magnets painted red and gray. they stick to each other, as long as you matched the colors right. When it was over, my mother picked them up and put them away
@@patriot9455 Yes, I'm sure a 7 year old's life experience would probably favor "mother" as someone who picks up stuff. The problem is that "mother" only has six letters. As does "vacuum" and "magnet". Your original post said "A 2nd grade science teacher put a question on her science test "my name has 7 letters and I pick up things." Am I missing something?
I hated school. I had it pegged with my answer when asked, how do you like kindergarten? Oh, it's SO childish. I could have done so much more in a lecture based system like college. My hs Chem teacher did that. It was great😁
Do you mean they have "perfect printing," because handwriting is called "cursive" in school and at those ages, they don't have handwriting yet...at least not when I was in school more than a half century ago...
The fact that so many people think some of these are funny, instead of insisting that their kids study harder and get these elementary concepts for heaven's sake, is why I - a COLLEGE instructor - have a third of my classes without a clue on basic math. basic geography, history, science - everything. Because everyone thinks studying is to avoid (go home so you can spend the rest of the day with video games), including the adults.....
When my mom was about 23 and and on the first day of her first teaching job, some of the girls asked her after class how old she was. She told them to guess. One girl said, "I know! She's 36!"
My son once wrote "my Mum has a new job, she leaves at night and doesn't come home until the morning" 😬 wish he had said what I did, hate to imagine what teacher thought. Daughter wrote "I wish I could be a dog as I think they have an easy life" and "my Mum and Dad used to love each other, now they don't" 😔.
A unitard is a real thing. It's a one-piece garment that's like a leotard, only for the whole body including top and legs. But I agree - it is an odd thing to use as an example in a child's assignment...the "-tard" doesn't mean anything by itself; it is a back-formation from the word "leotard," which is another garment we're familiar with but was originally named after the French acrobat who introduced it.
Yes these are funny. But we might see exactly what the late Charlotte Thompson Iserbyt was talking about when she noticed around the 80s what kind of assignments her kid was bringing home and when school went from actually educating kids into seeeming to be dumbing them down and hence the inspiration of her exceptionally prophetic book for today (written in 1996 but more true now than ever) The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America. These are cute and funny to laugh at what kinds of often very humorous things come from the mind of a child. But these "assignments" are at best strange, seem to be probing into the home lives of the children, and are not anything close to the intelligent critical thinking skills and things children were taught going back decades before there was a takeover of our school system by the elites, using a federalized system, whose agenda is to clearly dumb kids down and create a society of good non questioning little socialized intellectually blind little social servants obedient to everything they are spoon fed by the system; school, media, government etc

Leaving school was my fave thing too.....now it's leaving work😂😂😂😂😂
You made this retired teacher (20 years first grade) laugh way too hard. Brought back some fun memories.
Our young are such a delight - they come up with the darnest, cutest & at times, smartest things on their worksheets.
