What if the teacher is wrong?

If your child came home from school upset because they failed a quiz.

You would of course would ask them why they failed.

What if their answer was there were a couple of questions the teacher said I was wrong about.

First question: What is 7+12 I answered 19 the teacher said it was 20 and I was wrong.

Second question: What was Christopher Columbus famous for and I said discovering America, the teacher said I was wrong that he was famous for murdering native Americans.

You'd probably want a little talk with teacher.

Behold questions from a real quiz:

Question 4 was a true or false question with the statement, “All men have penises.” The student labeled the statement “true” since it is, in fact, true. But the teacher penalized the answer, marking it incorrect. The teacher claims women can have a penis.

Similarly, Question 7 was a true or false question with the statement, “Only women can get pregnant.” Again, the student marked the statement “true” because only women can get pregnant. Again, the teacher penalized the student, insisting the answer is false. The teacher believes men can get pregnant.
