Homeless woman prosecuted for enrolling son in school

Yeah that's a lot of military-centric things but I don't understand the format. The translator translates this word "Билет" into Ticket. Ticket? That can't be right.

That ticket's a... how do internal exams in the US work? Here you pull a paper slip from a pile with several questions from a predefined set of them. Yeah, that's a slip, not a ticket.

I enjoy fuking with you
you're funny

Go dose yourself with some mercury vaccines. You're too retarded to pretend to be retarded - you're just legitimately retarded.

Huh? Pull a paper slip from a pile with several questions? What?

You take a test as in you get a booklet of multiple-choice test questions and a Scantron answer sheet with the little bubbles to circle in. You use a pencil and you answer all the questions in the book.

And I'm not sure what you mean by 'internal' exam.

[Al B. Sure!]

By the way, in high school, we had a Polish foreign exchange student. Whenever she was called on to ask or answer a question, she stood up. That was amusing to our American student population that has no such deference for teachers

Ah, a full page of posts having, at most, a tangential relationship to the topic of the OP.
Nice.

Glad I'm not the only one who was trying to figure out how the posts in here have anything to do with the OP topic.

What is your excuse?

By internal I mean one that is graded by the school, not the standardized one. And yes, we have oral exams in universities here. You get a slip, prepare your answer and talk to the teacher.
Also, American schoolchildren do not stand up when answering a question? What the **** is wrong with them? Do they talk with their hands in their pockets too?

[giblets]

Oral exams are pretty rare in the US, except in foreign language classes. Usually exams are multiple choice tests, or written exams involving essay questions or short answers to questions.

also, lol @ communists who treat teachers like royalty

Here in Russia you're now allowed to enroll your kids into any school and living in the same district no longer gives you a preference. Now that's a cluster****. The process started on April the 1st, and the queues in front of the better schools or schools in more heavily populated districts were DAYS long.

I thought long lines were just part of everyday Russian life.

Yeah man no oral exams except in foreign language classes. Never had a single oral exam in any other subject through all years of schooling... in fact, saying 'oral exam' my first instinct is a dentist examination, that's how nonexistent oral exams are in American schooling

The closest thing to it would be presentations, where students in groups or alone do a research project and then have to present it to the class (in my day, we would just do it orally, maybe pass out a handout, or make a poster; today, I imagine it's all powerpoint ). Do you Russians have that or is that just too much like some capitalist business presentation?

And yes, American school children sit down.


It's interesting how different we do things over here.

[Al B. Sure!]

By the way, I did two years of Catholic middle school and we didn't stand to answer questions there, either.

Has anyone mentioned the fact that it's also illegal NOT to enroll your child in school?

[MrFun]

Shush - why should we actually discuss the topic of the OP?

[-Jrabbit]

Sorry.
