Junior High Student Spots Error in Test, Duh…
Posted by muragdoctor on February 15, 2009 · 1 Comment
I just read this from The Wichita Eagle.
Geoffrey Stanford, East Junior High student, encounters an error in a state writing test. Instead of saying, “the emission of greenhouse gases,” the test had a question that said, “the omission of greenhouse gas.” So he informs his English teacher Jennifer Fry, who int turn informed the district test coordinator, who eventually informed state education officials, who were properly embarrassed as all educators who’ve made such a mistake should be.
Now everyone in the US is hailing this kid as smart, observant, and insightful!
Seeing an error in a national test in the Philippines, however, is quite commonplace.

Actually Geoff is in his junior year at Wichita East High School. He’s 17, typical age for a junior in high school.
“Junior High School”, often referred to as “Junior High” or “Middle School”, is generally for students around 12 to 14 years old.
