No wonder this country is so fucked up http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/education/2219610/GCSE-students-get-rewarded-for-writing-obscene-insults-in-their-English-exams.html So if you come across a question you don't know then simple put "Fucked if I know." and at least you'll get some marks for it.l |

And talking of kids - what the fuck happened to them? I remember when I was 11 and the 16 year olds were massive and some even had facial hair, but now most of them look like they couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag. We get them on work experience and some are OK but the majority are just hard work. Like the one I've got this week, he asks me what to do and not having much for him to do I tell him to sweep up. Two minutes later he comes back and asks for another job, puzzled I ask if he finished the sweeping up and he tells me he started it but got bored and wants something else to do. fuck me |

Only if it was relevant to the question. I remember predicting world war on my AS General Education exam and actually came close when i said some cunt would become US President. I failed it but no one gives a shit about AS GenEd. Saying that I really only learnt how to write essays at uni and am still surprised i got in. |

It doesn't say it in the link I posted, but for the question "Describe the room you're sitting in" the answer put was "fuck off" and he got some points for it. Now how is that relevant to the question? |

The answer wasn't fuck off it isn't stated and the first thing that came to my head was fucking shit, which i would consider a good summation of an exam hall halfway through a GCSE. Especially when i remember having three exams back to back on the same day and is the reason i had to redo English at 6th form. |

The boy did write fuck off http://www.birminghampost.net/news/west-midlands-education-news/2008/07/01/student-picks-up-marks-for-swearing-on-exam-paper-65233-21207054/ And this quote from Peter Buckroyd made me laugh:
The fact he scrawled fuck off, I'm guessing he wouldn't have been too upset if he got a zero. |

I just had a thought how the could make it very easy for a teenage boy to pass Biology. Q: Diagram the male genitalia. In other words draw a penis, a skill i'm sure every 15/16 year old boy is good at. Note: i didn't say annotated because they might have trouble after the basics. |

Oh okay you're right and i agree with you now. However it does match with what every teacher has always said to me before an exam. "if you don't know the answer write something anyway. Even if its a guess or complete gibberish it's better than Just leaving it blank. Examiners only give you mark they don't take them away so what have you to lose." Okay i paraphrased but that is the general twist of what they said.. |

I was told the same thing at school but I imagine the teachers weren't asking me to write fuck off instead |

"It’s better than someone who doesn’t write anything. It shows more skills than somebody who leaves the page blank." He might be full of it but he is right and "remember spelling counts". I have the feeling he had all ready marked the exam a fail and decided to have some fun and when it come up instead of risking his job and admitting to mucking about he decided to justify it. |

For an English exam Q:With examples of use, describe the versatility of the word fuck. A: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hgsw5Hg0Ag I could imagine if done properly this could actually pas as a legitimate and high marking exam question. Especially as i have no idea what all these complicated verbs and stuff are. Edited by Finalsight618, Jul 5 2008, 09:39 PM.
