The Fail Vultures Are Circling
(I am invigilating an exam for some teenagers I have been teaching in my youth organisation. Although it is an internal exam, we teach them to fill in the papers as they would for an external exam because they’re very strict.)
Me: “Remember, when selecting your answer, write a horizontal line through the box. No circles, no diagonal lines. Just one horizontal line.”
Student: “Wait, so we do circles around our answers, right?”
Me: *trying not to get annoyed* “No. A horizontal line, as I said earlier.”
Student: “Oh, okay.”
Me: “Right, any other questions?” *silence* “Okay, you may begin.”
(Five minutes later.)
Student: “S***! I’ve been doing circles…”
Me: *head-desk*
