Hello Evie, this is sooo discouraging; on the other hand they are elementary school kids, but I wonder how such a test would be performed by high school and even undergraduate students. A colleague and I decided to maintain a kind of logbook of "stupid remarks and answers" and of English language errors (our school language is English because of the many foreign students)but we decided not to publish it anywhere because it would offend students as "guests of the school" ("guests"="customers"). This considerations doesn't hold for primary school kids, one can forgive their ignorance, but 20-year old students cannot be forgiven that easily. But Evie, if you would read our registration of these things! I think it's also the way school education is organised nowaday"s: everything must be funny, made interesting, LOL, in short-term projects with Googled findings, etc. My father used to say: when a teacher is boring, it's a reason to extra pay attention during class. But I'm growing old. And there's undoubtedly another side on this medal.

Evie I just posted today a contribution on my blogspot-blog, and I would much appreciate your comment for it's rather emotional. Thanks in advance.

I see you're reading the God Delusion by Richard Dawkins. I admire your courage! There are some books I would never read, not because of the books, but because of myself: either I cannot take an unprejudiced standpoint, or the book awakens too many emotions (e.g. Anne Frank). Thank you for reading it for me, I'm curious what you find about it.

I've seen this list before. It's funny on one hand yet sad on the other.
