Slacker Blog Post: Funny Test Answers

Due to the inordinate amount of traveling that I will be doing this week, I am going to post a slacker blog. 


As another school years rolls to an end, it’s time for some of the best test answers that teachers have submitted.  Although I could only really include the relatively clean ones, I’m willing to bet that the kids who had the guts to actually hand them in sound a lot smarter than the person who devised the test.  Note that the definition of a “best” answer doesn’t mean that the test taker received full or any credit at all.
