Oh, forgot to include this gem from the same test I graded:

Name one of the original 13 colonies
Albany

 

[GigsVigilance]

My brother has convinced almost 40 people that his Albinism is contagious.
Also, We tell people that Albino's are from Albania, a couple people have said
"Oh, that makes more sense, I thought you were white." Gotta love that ignorance

A girl in my class today asked if Napoleon was a midget.
When asked, she said that he lived in Spain, and that he had a high voice.

Didn't he have that whole "midget" thing thrust upon him by lieu of being badmouthed by his enemies?
I recall reading something that was roughly of that nature.

Edit: Nevermind, found the facts.

ya he was actually like 4' 8'' or something , but apparently that was REALLY short back then

No he was 5' 7" i urge you to look it up before replying, he was actually taller than average.

Monday I think it was, I had to grade someone's test in Government. Here's some of the 'better' answers:
Name a war that was fought in the 1800's
World War I

Who was the president during World War I?
Thomas Jefferson

Who's the senator in your state?
Hillary Clinton (ok, this one isn't nearly as stupid as the others, seeing as she was [apparently, I never saw her do anything here] senator of New York for a few years. But there was a lot of news coverage when she abandoned her post to become Secretary of State. Power hungry worthless *****.)

Ok, sorry but if you're insulting someone's intelligence don't put an apostrophe in "1800s" when it's plural.

I think it was more so that his body guards where just freaking tall, or something.

no he was 5 feet 2 inches

In the French system. Remember after their revolution they started making their own systems for everything. They even made their own calender with ten-day weeks so Christians couldn't have Sunday Mass.

"When does this water expire?"

I heard this today when someone wanted a bottle of water.

I was in a undergrad geography class preparing for a test. I started listening to the girl talk behind me. We were supposed to know about some of the major resources for different countries around the world. This girl behind me asked the guy beside her where China was. I couldn't help but turn slowly around in my seat wearing a complete face of disgust as she followed that up with "where is Canada?"

 

[SadakoMoose]

Teacher: O.k. class, today you're going to learn how to say hello in African.
or worse yet
Student: Isn't Egypt an Island?

Third Grade? I'm astonished that a third grade child would know of Chairman Mao or Communism. Seriously, this is third grade we're talking about.

Also, this is quite some time ago. Napoleon actually was about 5'1...but the average height back then was about 5'0.

Ah, I see. In comparison, high school graduates of the pitiful system in the States nowadays would be hard pressed to find America on a map.
