But taking off shoes and socks when you come in is nearly as good as taking off your bra.

It's a staple food. Most kids grow up eating PB&J sandwiches.

We have them. They are usually part of the cheerleader squad or dance squad. It is a sports thing. We take sports very seriously.

How else do you hide bodies?

It's aisles, though an isle just for cereal would be amazing :-)

An affective way to make the 'popular' kids feel even more popular.

you should see what we do to marshmellows....they had it coming

How else would you call them? Students wouldn't use the teachers first name.

Some schools are more strict than others and require them. My schools didn't require them. We just excused ourselves and went to the restroom when needed.

No. They don't - at least the schools that I went to and my nieces and nephews don't (they are ages 4 - 17). In the past, students were made to recite the "pledge of allegiance" each morning, but I think this is something that has fallen by the wayside.

Some schools don't allow it, but at the schools I went to we were allowed to. It was fun! You can put magnets, quotes, pictures of loved ones.

Yes, and there are usually one or two questions where you have to read something and write a few pages for it.

There are tests called SATs. These are the tests that determine whether somebody will get into university or not. The vast majority of those SAT tests are in multiple choice format. From the American perspective this serves two purposes. 1/ The tests can be graded by a machine, not a person, saving a lot of time and money. 2/ The results are very standardized. If the answer is either right or wrong, there is no possibility of favoritism or bias in the marking.

I don’t think it counts as a test if it’s all multiple choice. It should be like a quiz.

When I was teaching I NEVER gave out multiple choice, fill in the blank or "matching." You did ID's [who or what and why it was important] and two essays. It was impossible, back then, to cheat on my tests. They tried, but they couldn't because I never gave out the same test, ever. Used once, thrown away.

A) Yes B) No C) All of the above

A 4 sided die can really help during srandardized testing

Usually standardized tests.

Or you could go "old school" and have MCQs where you true/false every stem and get point deducted when wrong

oh it is absolutely a thing. it's so much a real that in Israel, a multiple-choice test or question is often called an "American test/question"

Yeah, it's in the UK too.

Yes. "Bubble tests" And that's why college students can't do math, geometry, calculus, chemistry or even speak, read or write English well.

Someone has never been in an Asian school.

yeah, it all depends on the teacher. we have full multiple choice tests too, although sometimes with a few short answer questions at the end

Do some of the people posting here live under rocks?

It's been a while but when I took the SAT (college entrance exam) it was entirely multiple choice and filled in on a scantron card (pencil bubbles).

easier to grade... they never give teachers enough office hours to grade fat essay tests

Multiple guess...

There are some that are all multiple choice. However, this is not usually intended to make the test easier to answer, it’s meant to make it easier for the teacher to grade.

Yes. I did not pass one today. FML, all of the above.

Yes, and sometimes mail does get stolen even though it's a federal offense.

Some do and if you put raisins on top you call it ants on a log.

My lab partner lit the science classroom on fire. I love chemistry

Bacon IS considered finger food :D

Yes, instead of wanker or c**t.

What's so unusual with this? I'm Austrian and my children's friends never used my first name.

question: why do you ask?

Veterans do.

Where do teens not slow dance??

no, never seen it and you do it in NYC you will be banned for life

Most of us have the entire thing memorized.

I think children all over the world have to feel "slightly suicidal" to do this.

No, we call eye doctors “Optometrists,” and we call Opticians “Opticians.”

Regionally yes. it is also known as "hot chocolate"

I’m curious what TV show you’re watching.

I’m afraid so. It’s not a movie thing.

most countries do because it has been a part of military training for centuries. They want inshape youth for military service.
