... your essay answers to multiple choice questions. <g> Actually you are correct in that many times rather than mark a choice I would write next to the question my remarks saying that the question was written incorrectly or that the choice of answers had no correct one present. But that paled in disruptionation the grief I caused to those highschool math teachers of which when they were taking math in their highschool aTime were only able to obtain a B as their upper limit and ended up as my teacher who would hear me speak up without asking permisssion during when they were at the board showing the class whats what and I would start talking out loud to the teacher that he/she does not understand what they are trying to teach us kids and thusly when the usa kids in america are ranked with the world its at the bottom. Makes you wonder why the highschools accept as teachers those who were only average students themselves to teach not only average students but those also on each side of the bell curve. Other countries seem to place a much higher regard and importance to the job of teaching its youth. Guess I should add that a very positive and very caring and high amount of desire to teach others is great stuff to hear about, but if that person for example in math does not have eXtra insight into what math is etc, then its A for effort but D for delivery as in what does their students obtain from the teaching except the teacher was very nice and tried very hard, but but but. Funny how some A+ math highschool students leave and go onto higher education and find out that eventhought they ranked at the top in those SATs or whatever they are now, that they did not receive the "inside story" that only a "correct" math teacher can bring to the class, and all they did was in a easy manner do only what was required by the book, which for them was easy, and actually too easy. So for example day 1 at math 101 for example MIT the math student would get their first assignment which was a read and problems as expected. But also was attached was a list of "things" expected by each student to have mastered enough so that no learning, but using as a tool was present, and for those who had it too easy in highschool with straight A(s) would look at the list of "insights" and realize that oops they were clueless to them, and then realize that at the bottom of this list were names of math books at library that covered these areas and in clear strong words were written that this stuff was expected to be already with each student and if not it is their task to obtain it NOW and on their own time, and quickly as in NOW. This while those others luckly to have those correct teachers soon found out that no one had extra time yet those who needed extra time had to find more needed extra time to get up to speed while they were started with negative time.
