No. If I do that I'll get into a lot of trouble. On September 24 2011 00:37 Count9 wrote: Wait, these are exam/quiz questions right? As in this was gone over in class or in a textbook somewhere? Yes, it was gone over at length. | ||

Will you get into trouble for failing them or for telling them to work in fast food? I also just wanted to ask what region you work in (not the name of the school of course, but the area/state.) I hope that your not stuck teaching people who don't want to learn forever, good luck in the future. | ||

I mean these questions are bloody easy. Well I don't think this is the typical situation in the typical American classroom or anything... don't be THAT worried.

If they fail my class, their graduation gets delayed (except for the 11th graders who are in the same boat next year with a new teacher). The district wouldn't want so many children having trouble graduating because of student performance in an elective class (this is not a state-mandated course; they just need science credit in general). Also telling them they aren't all 100% special with the ability to become president of the united states wouldn't be politically correct which is vocational suicide as a teacher. | ||

Which part of the U.S. are you from? I remember some pretty stupid classmates back in the days, but none as mind-numbingly retarded as your students. Seriously, 16/17 year olds? I want to say are you fucking kidding me but sadly I know that you are not. | ||

Bonus #2: real answer from a nutrition quiz: Q) True or False: You should eat a lot of food shortly before going to bed. A) True What's wrong with this answer? It depends vastly on your goals. If you're trying to put on muscle, for example, you want to eat before sleeping. Eating before sleeping doesn't have any negative effects on metabolism or obesity. For example, http://www.nature.com/?file=/ijo/journal/v21/n5/abs/0800422a.html OBJECTIVE: To examine the association of proportion of daily energy consumed in the evening with weight change over 10 y of follow-up. DESIGN: The data used were from the First National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES I, 1971-75) Epidemiologic Follow-up Study (NHEFS, 1982-84). The analytic cohort included 2580 men and 4567 women aged 25-74 y at baseline (NHANES I, 1971-75). The proportion of energy consumed in the evening (after 5 pm) was estimated from a 24 h dietary recall obtained at baseline. Weight change was defined as the difference between the follow-up and baseline weights. RESULTS: Mean±s.e. of percent energy from evening food intake was 46±0.29 in the analytic cohort. After adjustment for multiple covariates, percent energy from evening food intake and weight change were unrelated in both men and women. CONCLUSION: Extent of evening eating was not a significant predictor of 10 y weight change in the NHEFS cohort. This is another one of those random nutrition fitness myths that is not supported by the science. More studies in the below link: http://www.thatsfit.com/2010/09/21/does-nighttime-eating-lead-to-gain-weight/ There are some incidences where hyperphagia may be unregulated and large amounts of calories may be consumed nightly or obese people may be awakened during the night (noctural eating syndrome). However, these specific cases tend to deal with hormonal imbalances (either in ghrelin, leptin, or other hypothalamus signalling) where there are already metabolic dysfunctions present. For the healthy population, it is fine to eat large meals before sleeping without any negative consequences. -------------- Also, thanks for the laughs. Love them all except the last one where the kid actually provided an answer to a question that actually doesn't have a right or wrong answer. | ||
