I was starting to get really really worried about the amount of times it had accompanied her home and sent an email to her teacher. She responded in record time, cos that is how her school rolls, and told me it isn't Rosie but the new grading system and test structure that has just been put into place. They are now testing them on inference. Oh cos that makes a tonne of sense, test them on something that isn't actually there. Yippee.
On Wednesday the folder made an appearance again. I told her I would be disappointed if she had blown a question because she was rushing or being lazy but if it was a genuine mistake, NO BIG DEALIO.
Take a little look and read this passage:
Rosies answer was: Stew got a blue bruise.. Her teacher wrote and circled the correct answer, New car. In her mind the words got and had are interchangeable. I laughed my freaking arse off. It doesn't say he had a new car, verbatim, it says his new car got stuck in the mud, it does however say he got a bruise. I think it is a correct answer and a very funny one.
Then the correct answer to 4 is hurt, well her answer is: Stews, arms felt tiyed (tired) after pushin the car. ROFL She inferred his arm would be tired after pushing a car...mine would be too. I'm not upset I actually think it is funny. I gave her a kiss, told her I would give her an "A" signed my name and we moved on. She'll get there.
priceless.cx
ReplyDeleteLove it! Why in the world would they use the name "Stew"??? No wonder Rosie was confused.....how can a chunk of meat have a new car!!!!
ReplyDeletePersonally I would have answered the questions just like Rosie did. I give her an A too!
