The fact that she is thinking about it instead of dismissing it is impressive.

The greatest compliment I ever received as a mathematics major was overhearing a conversation between two of my professors and one of them joked that he used my papers for his answer key. Thank you Profs. Lau and Sulsky, you made me feel seen and validated.

Yeah there was a physics problem that hinged on an assumption you had to make (the applied force was higher than force due to friction. ) . And it was multiple choice. F/2 and zero were the two possible answers that were correct. Not that I’ve been stewing on that since 1978. No, no. I’m fine. 50 years you can get over anything. Sort of.

My daughter was sent to the principals office for correcting her history teacher.

I found a mistake on a history exam question in HS. When I brought it to the teacher, he looked at me and said, “But I’ve had that question on the exam for years..”

I had an excellent student who was willing to take the exam in the am before everyone else to find my typos or confusing instructions. Miss her so much!

Retired math teacher. Start with the top student’s paper. Look carefully at their ‘mistakes’. Saves a lot of time when the mistake was mine and not theirs. It happens.

I had a argument with a teacher in year 6 over a math question. I was right and she marked me as wrong cause the answer sheet wasn’t right🤦🏼♀️. She hated me after this cause a 11 year old child proved that she was wrong.

I love it when a smart kid can find the mistakes on a test/answer key or another novel yet equally correct answer to the problem 🥰

I definitely checked my answer more than once when a bright student had a different answer.

my AP World Cultures prof wouldn't give me 100% on mid because "I've never given a perfect grade and I'm certainly not going to starts with the likes of you!" I was a sophomore

I was in college an I am a math major. I was helping my niece with her Algebra. My niece had the answer key but they had to shower the worked problem. Came across one I didn’t have teacher same answer I worked that problem front back side diagonal no match so I asked her to ask her teacher what I was doing wrong. I was confident my answer was correct so I she asked and long story her teacher said why isn’t your aunt a teacher. 🥰

I do an item analysis on every test. I use response patterns to indicate good and bad questions or concepts I did not teach well.

When I taught I used to intentionally create a problem on quizzes that had no correct multiple choice answer. If it got brought up they got extra points because I knew they understood the concepts.
