TCoppock Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 DS was studying tables and graphs in Saxon math last week and I almost died laughing when I saw one of his answers. The picture was of a Growth Chart that graphed a child's growth from birth until about 10. The question was asking something about the slant of the graph and the fact in the beginning it quickly inclined and then it slowed down. It asked why this happened. His answer: Because his body's growth is slowing until puberty I don't think that is what the Math book answer was but I marked it correct for critical thinking. Sometimes DS is too smart for his own good.:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole M Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 That is so funny! I love unexpected answers. Once when my son was about nine he was asked to identify some grammar concept in the sentence: "Italy is almost entirely surrounded by water." In his answer book he wrote: "Hello, people! Italy is a peninsula!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyAberlin Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I'm with ya loved to death. I'd like to adopt eventually, once hubby gets out of school and our finances get in order. But that is a ways down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen in PA Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Too funny! I have to admit I chuckle when my kids overthink things and come up with creative answers -- and then I cringe when I think how they will handle the limitations of standardized testing.

Guest 4boys Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Those are funny. My five yr old asked me last night when I was going to lay another baby. He must be getting me confused with a chicken LOL My 7yo said this same thing the other day, only he was referring to the bunnies he saw outside. He said they were probably "laying babies in the bush". :) More study on mammals needed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
