@georgetakei The Dutch call it "zesjescultuur" -- the effort to get a 6/10 (or passing but not outstanding) on a test.

@georgetakei I used to bring pepsi and chocolate with me to take exams in the 90s, which I felt helped. I also have low blood pressure, but would never have connected the 2. Also, getting extra oxygen by running to your exam, gives your brain a boost.

@georgetakei Yes, that's exactly how superstition and esotericism work. It is generalized from one case to all. A look in a math book might help: Full-scale induction works differently.
Science ruls

@georgetakei Well, having written tests years ago, this answered the question. If the behavioral objectives were to promote more critical thinking, the answer falls short. This is just an example of what to avoid in test quality questions.

@georgetakei back when I was in middle school, the teacher told us to write a paper about "risk".

I wrote "THIS is risk" and handed in my paper.
(Everyone else wrote like 4 pages of what they thought risk meant)

The teacher flunked me 🤷🏻‍♀️

@georgetakei when Robin Williams passed I was talking to a much younger co-worker about it and they just stared at me and asked "who’s she?"

If only she could instantly transform it to a vapor without it passing through the liquid state.

That would be sublime.
