 Laughing Now I would've been stump on all the names..but it makes a great answer.

I'm wondering if some of these "students" were purposely trying to be comical..?  On a few questions..it does seem so.  But isn't it amazing what the human mind can "create" for an answer..when a "mind" depends on nothing but "blank" space to fill in something that makes sense only to them.  hehe   Sticking Tongue Out

 Wink "then again"  ..as for the kids today..what they have technologically..and just the pace of life.  No wonder..we can expect some really off the wall viewpoints and answers like this Quiz shows.   Smiley Blink

I think the humor is great..but the reality is very serious.   Oh! I see

Yeah, a lot of kids think that milk comes from the supermarket, a lot of kids have never seen a cow in their life, that's sad Crying

Do they still have schools Max?
The way kids are these days you wouldn't be blamed for thinking not Crying
Teachers have no control whatsoever over kids, when I was at school, we wouldn't dare answer back to a teacher, now teachers are being beaten up by students, it's a disgrace
Who can blame people for not wanting to go into that profession now Thumbs Down

 Crying Yeah...One of my sisters teaches middle-school, and the horror stories she relates are astonishing.  She says...that it just worsens in the higher grades, and she's lucky teaching the younger group...at least fewer incidents.  Sticking Tongue Out

I agree the profession lacks any natural attraction...and will be difficult to fix.  Ssssh..... Don't tell anybody
