The Longsuffering Brazilian Teacher
A friend sent me these this morning. They are scans of actual answers given on tests by students here in Brazil.
Translation:
Q. What is the principal function of the skeleton?
A. To invade the castle of Greyskull!
Q. Explain the political policy adopted by President Janio Quadros
A. Teacher, I was born in 1987, for this reason I will not be able to answer this question. However I am willing to go to the library and research the policy he adopted.
This one needs no translation. I can identify with this student.

Q. Find x
A. It's right there
(I actually did something like this in my algebra book...I bet my Dad could find it and send me a scan...)
