My hubby is tired of kids getting super easy quiz questions wrong. On Monday of last week, he gave a quiz, and 80% of the class failed. So he figured he messed up and didn't give the subject proper coverage. He handed back the quiz and went over the subject matter again and went over the quiz answer for answer. Gave the quiz to them Friday - most kids got MORE answers wrong.

He found a quiz on a joke site, so decided to print it out and give it to them.

I THINK I got them all right, but perhaps you better print the answers just in case. :D :D
