[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 255262, member: 1233"] Hey at least he saw some error in his ways. After an aunt came to visit and was discussing the way a cousin flunked one of the high school standardized achievement tests when I was a kid I thought it made a lot of sense to flunk those idiot tests we took every other year. No one's business how intelligent I am or am not. A few years later in high school one of MY teachers was looking at our answers during a lunch break in a standardized test. Told me he would call my DAD if I didn't go back and put the correct answers down. I had, with a high degree of success, gotten EVERY problem WRONG on purpose. It was the 3rd or 4th of these tests we were given in ONE YEAR not including the PSATs and SATs and such. I decided I didn't CARE if I got them all wrong - maybe then they would stop interrupting my book every few minutes. If they had called my mom I wouldn't ahve changed anything. But NO ONE EVER called my DAD. This was, in fact, the first time in my education that they even had a phone number for my dad at work. I could just IMAGINE the years of lectures I would get if they called him. So I went and adjusted about 3/4 of my answers. My parents didn't know for several more years why I scored so low. When I told them their jaws dropped. They didn't know I had heard my aunt. Would have shushed her if they had! So it isn't just YOUR son who thought of the wrong answers. And NOW they know if you can get all the answers wrong you CLEARLY know all the RIGHT answers. [/QUOTE]
