As a good citizen of our classroom, we should: 1 follow rules and laws 2 talk loud 3 push in line 4 stay home from school -------------------------- Well, what do you think? :lol: This is an actual question on a Social Studies test. http://www.schenectady.k12.ny.us/putman/social/grade4test.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dana Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 And I will say again....I used to put the question "there are ---- states I the United States of America" as a bonus on my tests at the cc after I learned that some students didn't know the number. It was appalling how many got it wrong. One calculus student argued with me about her answer (52). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I was thinking that the questions weren't too bad until I saw that it was for 4th grade. I was thinking 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lang Syne Boardie Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Certainly the correct answer is D. To be a good citizen we should stay home from school! I want to live on a planet shaped like a rocket ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenbrdsly Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Maybe the teacher was trying to teach kids about looking for obvious right answers? When I used to teach 3rd grade to a classroom of English Language Learners who had just come from Mexico, I use to put in some test questions that were really easy in the hopes that they would get at least that question right. If you have kids who are such low readers that they don't even bother trying to read the questions, then an easy question like that can be a way for teachers to ferret out who is trying to read and who isn't. Of course, why it says "talk loud" instead of "talk loudly" I don't know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justasque Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 The written idea for a law is called: 1 a petition 2 an assembly 3 a veto 4 a bill So 1, right? Because the bill is more than just an idea; it contains specific proposed language, wheras a petition includes just the basic idea - "We want a law about X". 2 is not written, 3 is obviously wrong. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
