"'Tis better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt"

Here we go....now that it's exam time we begin the "stupidest answers" parade....

So the gem for today is.......well, let me preface this by saying we spent like a WEEK talking about cancer and how radiation causes cancer, and how X-rays are dangerous, etc.

So the question is.....Explain why an X-ray technician will leave the room when performing an X-ray on a person.....

Good answer #1 - "because otherwise he will be in the picture too"

and

Good answer #2 - "because he needs to press the button and it's in the other room"


Why do I suddenly feel like the past 5 months have been a complete waste???? Grade 11, by the way!

I guess that's one of the "downs" of teaching... feeling like you didn't get through to your students...?! Thanks for sharing... interesting to hear what it's like to be a teacher... I'm still considering it. Going for career counselling next week! :)
