“Dog has appeared atop Big King, a water tank you can see from Mt Eden Rd,” writes a reader. “For several years an unknown artist or artists have painted some beautiful pictures on the green, boring tank and the Auckland Council paints over them. Please don’t paint over this one, council.”
Students' wrongs put right
Teachers on funny answers from students that technically weren't wrong.
1. I asked, "When is a time you have used integrity?" He wrote down, "I wash my hands after going to the bathroom, even if no one is in there."
2. I was listening to a podcast about swearing, and this guy was saying that his daughter's class would just say "swear word" instead of actually swearing. But since swear words are about context and emotion, the school ended up banning "swear word" because students were using it as an oath.
