Try Harder bapu! Try Harder!!!

See?  That's exactly what's wrong with school today.  Those are very good and creative answers (can you really say that any are actually incorrect?).  Unless it's a class for psychics, why would he need to only pick the answer the teacher wants to hear?

Students that are completely brainwashed to believe there's only one answer to a question are NOT prepared for real life IMO!

My favorite example comes from this question:  What is the square root of 4?

That's why I sucked at math...my hands (and feet and...er....nevermind) were too small. I'm not an idiot afterall. Or am I?

Those are great answers.
And #1 is a bogus question. Napoleon didn't die in battle.

craigb: 2 and -2...

But, the bigger question is: how do we know the root is square?  Have you ever seen a plant with square roots?

Not bad.  I usually include the bottom of a wooden 4 made out of 4"x4"s too.

You all may laugh at this, but, there's much truth here. (Undernieth that clown suit, craig, therein hides a true genius).
 
There is also much debate on how to fix our broken education system. On the world scene, US ranks in the middle to near bottom of the list. From an insider's view I believe it is no longer fixable. The makeover would be to devastating economically and socially to implement. We're doomed to fail. Doomsday prophets can say what they will about how the world will end. Our own education system will bring us down before any asteroid hits us.

we can save education just get rid of the nutty professors and teach real history, math etc. that's all..
