Kids Who Gave Hilarious Answers On Tests
You know when a toddler says a swear word but you have to try not to laugh because you don’t want to encourage the behavior, even though you definitely thought it was funny? That’s basically what a lot of these answers are.
You want to give them the marks for their clever witty answers, but sometimes they’re just straight-up wrong, and other times you don’t want to promote the fact that they just didn't know the right answer to a simple math question. Check out these hilarious answers that kids gave on tests.
Super-human Decibel
Mariah Carey is clearly the only acceptable answer in this situation considering the notes she can hit are superhuman. We’re not even sure what the answer to this question was supposed to be, so who can blame the kid for going with their own answer instead right?
The woman has a 5 octave voice range which is virtually unheard of, she deserves to be an answer on an elementary school test.
Avoidance At Its Finest
We could all take a page out of Jackie's book on how to avoid our problems. You don't want to do something? Pretend it doesn't exist! You don't want to answer a question on an exam? Grab that White-out from your backpack and make the question disappear!
Unfortunately for Jackie the teacher caught on pretty quickly and called it out. Do you think she was forced to answer the question and did she just lose the marks?
A+ For Accuracy
The instructions for the test "Answer these questions as accurately as possible" and that's exactly what the student did. The teacher kind of set themselves up for this one. This kid got straight to the point and was accurate as they could possible be.
While the A+ for creativity is nice, the teacher still gave them an 'F' despite not actually answering any questions wrong. Looks like failure really was the main reason for this exam.
Mark And Mary Will Struggle When They're Married
Okay so this might not be the lesson the teacher was aiming to teach from this particular math problem but it’s still not a bad lesson in general.
Seems like someone’s parents have been starting the life lessons early on. At least this person knows men will often think their right even when they're not. One thing she should get marks for (other than all of it) is her ability to get straight to the point, she's definitely concise in her answer!
An Engineer In The Making
It seems like someone who spent all of last week binge-watching the Harry Potter movies rather than studying for their exam.
Realistically, unless they're going to become an aerospace engineer or aircraft maintenance engineer or something, does the student really need to know what the four forces of flight are? Not every student is going to enjoy science or find a purpose in it, but they'll be other subjects they enjoy!
Communism Or Chemical Bonding
See here’s the thing, this answer wasn’t technically wrong, it was just wrong for this class. Had the question been for a political science or history class (and not mentioned atoms or electrons) then this kid would’ve been right!
Who knows, this could be the start of a promising career in politics for this kid. He could be the president in 40 years' time, all because of one ‘wrong’ answer.
A Grey Area
Maybe the issue here isn’t children, it’s that teachers aren’t being specific enough with their test questions...
Kids aren’t exactly known for their ability to focus or properly interpret everything so if you leave any wiggle room, you’re going to end up with some creative answers, whether the kids meant to or not. If you leave a grey area, you might not always get black and white answers! Looks like it's time for a review class.
Still Technically Right
Math may not be the student’s strong suit but they managed to come in with the save and still get the laughs. Realistically, naming 6 animals who live exclusively in the Arctic is difficult. Polar bears, seals, penguins… It’s harder than it looks, so we can’t blame this kid for taking a more creative approach.
Hopefully, he still got the points since his answer wasn’t actually wrong, just different than the teacher might’ve expected.
The Path To World Domination
If this is the path that everyone is taking for world domination, it’s easier to understand why no one has achieved it yet; they’re probably getting lost somewhere between the first and last steps.
The teacher was probably looking for something more along the lines of “graduate from high school” or “win a Nobel Peace Prize” but you know what? To each his own. The kid has goals, that’s all that matters!
You Good Bro?
Seems like there might be some underlying issues that need to be brought up at the next parent-teacher conference..
For all we know this kid could be right about the engineer in the math problem. It can get lonely out at sea all the time! Why do you think the engineer’s boss fired him? Was the student right? The teacher didn’t mark it as right or wrong so maybe they’re leaving it open to interpretation.
Get It Together Judy!
"Enough is enough Judy!" makes us think that maybe this isn't the first time Judy has opted to add in her own answers for test questions, which makes this significantly better.
Judy isn’t here for your plain old 'sad’ or ‘glad’ answers, she wants to hit him where it hurts, which makes her glad. We want to know what other test answers Judy has put her own flare on in previous classes and also if she was given bonus marks for creativity.
The Wrong Hue
Grant, Hefner, Laurie, Jackman, with so many great Hughs to choose from it’s hard to pick just one favorite right? At least the teacher acknowledged what a clever answer this was, though it’s not clear if they actually got the mark or not…
The rule should be if the answer is right or it makes the teacher laugh, you get the marks. Partial marks could also be acceptable for humorous responses.
An Apparent Love Of Education
Not every student likes going to school, that’s just a fact. Some kids love it, some kids… don’t! He or she could be an extremely gifted kid who is simply bored out of their mind in class, or they were caught on a bad day, or maybe they just hate school.
We’ll probably never know the reason behind this less-than-glowing recommendation for the American education system. And yes, we are making the assumption that this probably occurred in an American school of some sort.
Modern Day Hansel And Gretel
This feels like a Hansel and Gretel, Charlie and the Chocolate factory type of answer. In case it’s hard for you to read the question was “When a child swallows a cleaning product, why is milk often given?” And to clarify, “to make them happy before they die” was not the correct answer.
This also looks it could’ve been a question on a WHMIS test which is startling because that means the test-taker could’ve been in highschool or older… solid job everyone.
The Real Lesson
Why was this a question in the first place? What was the sentence the teacher was hoping to receive as an answer? We have a lot of questions about this exam.
Despite not answering the question "right", the student clearly understands what the sentence was supposed to be plus they came up with their own word to complete the sentence so they should get marks anyways. And bonus points for having a solid moral compass!
Beyonce Is Always The Answer
“Saturn was NOT a single lady.” Okay first off, Saturn is still alive so it would be Saturn is NOT a single lady, but also how do you know she’s not single? She’s a strong independent woman who don’t need no man (unless she wants one.)
The whole God and science mixture here is something for a parent or teacher to address, but it seems like it was probably just a joke answer to a question someone forgot to study for. If you ever forget an answer to a question, just invoke Beyonce.
Risk-Taker
This teacher certainly has their work cut out for them if this is the kind of answer they're being given in class. At least the teacher had a good spirit about it and gave the mark anyways. The answer isn't wrong, it's actually a perfect example. It shows this kid is paying attention in class.
But also, that checkmark looks like it stepped right out of a Nike Ad; the teacher should be very proud of that.
Nailed It
Hope did exactly what was asked of her. Never at any point was she told she had to use the words from the word bank, they could’ve just been there to use as a boring suggestion if you couldn’t think of more creative names like Bob or Sam.
We’re not positive if number four is named ‘Tedison’ or ‘Redison’ and she missed an ‘r’ in ‘Harry’ but that’s beside the point.
Mental Math
This highlights a problem with our education system! Not every kid needs to show his work in order to solve a math problem, and we shouldn't force them to. If they're able to solve it in their head (and they're getting it right) why does it matter if they explain it to the teacher or not?
In this situation the student could've made it easier on themselves and just answered the question, but this works too.
Very Funny, Peter
Again, Peter was just following the instructions that were given to him. He wasn’t told how to expand, so he chose to forge his own path. This just shows that Peter has some leadership qualities, a future in management perhaps!
Sure, he didn’t actually learn how to do proper math equations so a degree in physics might be out of the question but there’s definitely a future for him at some Liberal Arts college on the West Coast.
Welcome To America
How can a teacher get mad when the answer isn't even wrong? They either have some woke parents who are instilling some important morals in their child, or their self-taught. Either way, we hope this kid still got the marks.
If they’re this aware of the current political climate, then they probably also knew that the answer to this question was ‘taxonomy’ (see, we know stuff too) but chose to go with the less obvious choice.
Useless Facts
As with so many other answers, this isn’t technically wrong, so how can a teacher get upset. The location which the Declaration of Independence was signed at is one of those facts that you will probably never need to know past grade 10 history class.
It might come up at some sort of bar trivia night later in your life but even then, the chances are slim. And for this kid, it probably won’t matter that he doesn’t know the answer, someone else on his team should be able to cover the question.
A Plant Cell
Ladies and gentlemen we’ve got the next Pablo Picasso on our hands over here. They may never be a marine biologist but they have other strengths.
This teacher probably doesn’t realize that in 20 years time they’ll be able to say ‘i knew them first’ when this student’s art is selling for millions of dollars at a Sotheby’s auction in upstate New York. Who needs to know the parts of a plant cell when you have artistic talent like this.
iZombie
First of all what kind of a question is that? "How is the brain like a cantaloupe?" Uhh, they're the same shape. That’s about all we can come up with. It seems like listing seven ways that a melon and a brain are similar is a bit of a stretch.
Second of all, this answer is concerning regardless of the question. Hopefully, the teacher sent a note home along with this test. We hope that this kid has just been watching too much Walking Dead on the weekends.
Focus On The Spelling Bee
It seems like maybe this teacher should loop back around to those spelling lessons before they jump into science. While clever, it might’ve been better if the child could actually spell New Jersey and - what we can only assume is meant to say - California.
The student kind of missed the target on this one in terms of learning anything, but at least the teacher got a chuckle out of it.
Wide Array of Hobbies
Remember folks, big brother is always watching, and so is your child! You may not think that they're paying attention to you because they're wrapped up in Paw Patrol or you're hoping they won't notice that second (third) glass of wine you're drinking but then they turn around and tell the whole class your only hobby is drinking. Yikes.
Let's be honest though, the teacher can probably relate to this. Every educator has days where they go home and drink, don't lie.
No Love For The Theatre Here
Simple advice, straight to the point, no messing about. This kid is going places! Realistically time travel was not a well-known concept was Lincoln was alive so had you actually tried to warn him about his death or some other insignificant events, he probably would’ve thought you were insane. Better to give him advice he can use in his everyday life.
We're also curious about what play he was recently forced to see that would've resulted in this answer.
Death Is Imminent
This question kind of seems like it was the perfect set up for an answer like this one. And realistically, Warren is right. Even if he’s 5 or 6 at the time, the chances of him leaving to 105 are slim.
Warren just better understands the realities of life, and he’s come to terms with his impending death. That’s some forward-thinking right there. Sure, it’s a little concerning that a child immediately went to ‘gravestone’ rather than drawing an old person, but that’s a problem for another day.
Heartless Creatures
A giraffe heart actually weighs 25 pounds so they definitely have them, but we get the point of what this kid was trying to say.
We’re pretty sure the answer to the question was B) Darwin’s theory of evolution but what we really want to know is why this kid hates giraffes. Is the answer solely based on the pictures, or is there an underlying reason for his hatred of long-necked creatures.
Love Will Conquer All
Do you think this kid actually believed this answer or did they just not know what they were supposed to put down? They're either a hopeless romantic or they forgot to study.
This is like kids who went to a catholic school who would just put 'God' down as an answer to any question regardless of what class it was and still get the question right. You can't argue with that logic right?
Elementary School Rebellion
Would we define this as a rebel with or without a cause? Maybe this is the solution to the war on standardized testing they’ve been looking for.
Regardless of the cause, hopefully, the student still got the marks because clearly, they’re past the ‘learning about adjectives’ stage in their educational journey. This would definitely be one of those situations that if a teacher talked to parents about it, the parents would just laugh.
A Picture Says A Thousand Words
Sometimes students can just shoot their shot and get away with it, but in this case, a witty answer deserves an even wittier response right? The student definitely thought they were being so clever with their answer (despite spelling the word 'colour' wrong apparently) but they were no match for the teacher.
When in doubt, always bring Nicholas Cage into the picture. In this case, the cartoon Cage basically covered everything the teacher was thinking, so we're going to take a wild guess and say no marks were given here.
Freeloadin' Frankie
We’ve all been there before right? Everyone has been a freeloader at some point in their life. This is clearly something this student has overhead their parents say or maybe they were (hopefully) jokingly called that.
Eventually they’ll start being a contributing member of society but for now, they get a free pass. Just sit back and enjoy the ride buddy.
I Moustache You A Question
This student has cealry figured out the way to Mr. Thomas' heart. We're not entirely sure what answer was supposed to come of this question, but whatever it was, this was better. And we're sure Mr.Thomas got a good laugh from it as well.
What do oyu think his moustache looks like? Do you think it's more of full-on Tom Selleck look, or the handlebar Hulk Hogan vibe? We'd like picture proof please.
How to Solve A Problem
Get up and rub some dirt on it, you'll be fine! This seems like advice you'd get from your grandfather on how to deal with a problem. "Just deal with it, what else can you do?"
This kind of work ethic will take you far in life. Albeit a little harsh, using the tough love approach on himself is why he'll be the next Bill Gates while the rest of us sit at home binge-watching HBO.
Learning Opportunities
"I did not know earth day was April 22. It might be usefull in a trivia game." Straight to the point, the student answers everything that was asked in the question and writes in full sentences. Seems like they deserve full marks!
It's unclear whether this answer was accepted by the teacher, but we support the smart-alec student. It's also possible the kid wasn't trying to be a smart-alec, he might've just genuinely thought this answer was acceptable (which it was, technically).
'Move' counts as an action verb right? Which means this student should get full marks! They did what they were supposed to do, they just didn't use a wide array of verbs like the question suggested; they went for a more targeted approach.
He probably just watched Madagascar and now the song is stuck in his head because of the scene when all the lemurs are singing it. Who can blame him, it's a catchy tune!
Not That Kind Of Expression...
"That's totally gnarly, dude!" definitely wasn't the answer they were looking for here, but at least it was written with proper grammar! Mybe this kid wants to be a professional surfer/poet rather than the next Alberta Einstein, and that's a valid option. Follow your dreams dude!
The student has learned something, it just wasn't anything to do with mathematical radical expressions and it probably wasn't from this teacher or this class...
Shoot Your Shot
Again with the non-specific questions! It clearly says 'suggest one reason why Miranda can't see anything" and that's what the student did. 'She is blind' is one reason that Miranda might not be able to see when she looks down her microscope, is it not? You don't know Miranda's back story.
Based on the penmanship this kid might be a little older than a preschooler so that's probably why the teacher wouldn't give out the marks. It's a little less impressive when a 14-year-old writes this apparently.
Setting Attainable Goals
Having a goal to work towards is always important, regardless of if your goal is world domination or more simply, crying less. We're curious what age the person setting this goal was, but no judgments if you're 6 or 16, 'less crying' is still a perfectly worthy goal.
Plus it's always good to set attainable goals. 'Less crying' could mean you cry four times a day instead of five, and it'll count as achieving your goals.
