Because these things need to be remembered

I tend to record student work that I enjoy. One of the most important things about my job is finding humor in our classroom, and my students are, intentionally or otherwise, absolutely hilarious. People have encouraged me to create a blog or something, and after inundating my Facebook newsfeed with what I found were hilarious tidbits from student work, I decided to go for it.

Today's a doozie. We're prepping for our state standardized Language Arts exam. I gave my 10th graders a sample from the exam two (maybe three?) years ago, wherein they had to read a short literary piece on Jackie Robinson and answer a few questions. I also asked them to answer some questions about test-taking strategies. Here are today's Hall of Famers:

Q: How did Jackie Robinson's character influence the sport of baseball?

A: "he was black so that caught media attention and he had a very good hit and run average"

A: "Jackie Roberson was a Native American..."

Q: What was difficult about this test?

A: I was just too lazy to write.

A: Nothing. I saw the movie too.
