I mean, technically the kid's right

  I think, technically, this is a comma-separated list, so the kid should have circled 1.39, 2.17, and 3.96 as the smallest numbers.

    That’s not a csvs worl though. Everyone knows you sometimes use dots as decimals but as separators in column 3 and 17, but not in rows that rhyme with their first entry except on tuesdays.

      You can always use the Excel API to read the file, but make sure you set the computer’s locale to Turkish before you start.

  The thing is, the kid circled (then erased) the “correct” answer for the first two and started circling the right one for the last question… Then stopped.

  So they totally got the assignment.

    Or they are overly literal and second guessed their initial reading of it. Something I could definitely see an autistic or ADHD kid doing.

  What does the red fish squiggly on the side mean? Correct or incorrect?

    I’ve had teachers who draw X’s fast enough they just do it in one motion and it looks as above.

      X presumably means wrong?

    Looks like an alpha, so I assume this is all correct.

    It’s an “X” to indicate incorrect answer. The teacher has 100+ papers to grade and a lesson plan to get together for tomorrow and doesn’t have time to make their marks look pretty.

      I’m in a different pink collar profession and sometimes when I have an audit checklist to circle “yes” for “I did the thing” down a 15 item audit checklist my circles just turn into a long chained spiral.

    I used to have a teacher back in the 90s who also used the same squiggly to indicate correct answers. Not sure what the origin is, but I’ve also used it since

      That’s interesting. I had the exact opposite experience in the same timeframe. Those are X’s written really fast and the pen doesn’t leave the page. I’ve only ever seen those marks used to indicate incorrect answers.

    It’s an alpha and short for: αλλ ριγητ

    In addition to what others have said (this is an X), American teachers traditionally use red pen to mark incorrect answers/correct incorrect answers.

  A great opportunity to use letters as the list item bullets

      Roman numerals still count right?

  When I was an elementary teacher I would have let this slide for sure. I would have explained next time I’ll count it wrong though.

  If the numbers counting the questions are part of it, then only 1 should be circled.
