Q1 As a teacher, have you ever caughtyour student cheating in a way that actually impressed you? A1 Robert Girard Retired high schoolEnglish teacher/Reading SpecialistJune 26, 2019 A student wrote theanswers for a physics quiz and projected them on the screen that the teacheroften used to hide problems on the board. The answers were part of the screensaver that ran automatically when the computer/projection unit was turned onwhich it usually was. The student knew the routine and had gotten access to theroom after school through a janitor who let him in and allowed him to copy downthe problems on the board which were “the homework assignment” he’d forgotten. The next day, heran the screen saver with the answers to the delight of his fellow students.Many wrote down the answers he had supplied while the teacher took attendanceand dealt with last-minute questions from students. The teacher was obliviousto everything but his duties and questions from the students. The student hadworked through the problems, checked them over with a few of his friends andhad the answers dead to rights. Perfect.Which waspretty much the scores the students had earned on their physics quiz. It was a smallclass and no one hinted anything was amiss to the teacher. The teacher wasimpressed he’d been so good at explaining everything so well to his class. Buttheir responses in class weren’t of the same caliber. The homework was amess and a pop quiz was bad and only one student was able to apply the lastquiz’s problem to the week’s experiment, so he began to question how well theclass was really doing. Then he saw itbefore the next quiz. The screen saver was projecting answers to his quiz andhe did a bit of backtracking and figured out he’d been had. He quickly changedsome questions, altered variables and tried to keep a straight face whenstudents walked into the room expecting an easy ride. A few of thestudents figured out that the answers didn’t fit the quiz and buckled down todo the calculations. A few were so lost they used the answers and hoped for thebest. The janitor lateridentified the “good” student who was so forgetful and needed to get hishomework off the board. The teacher laterwent strictly for paper and pencil quizzes and made sure that he had more thanone version in the room in the event there were wandering eyes. And he let thefirst quiz scores stand.

A9 Saket Reddy B Tech from IndianInstitute of Information Technology, Design and Manufacturing, Kancheepuram(IIITDM Kancheepuram) (Expected 2024)September 21 South India is perfectly defined. I mean people onlyconsider the 5 states, 1 island (Andaman & Nicobar are not considered asSouth India), and a UT only when they count South India. The criteria usedby the people is “Dravidian Language family” South India is always the samewhichever platform you see. But North India is not defined according to theIndians. Let’s see whatperfectly is North India. According to fewSouth Indians (Not generalizing), this is North India. They are like: Many people fromHP, Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab will lose Temper when anyone says UP & Biharare from North India. I recently read ananswer, they are criticizing South Indians for saying South India is developedthan North India. They madea comparison without UP & Bihar. (I am not supporting South Indiansthough.) Coming toPoliticians they don’t care about North India, South India, etc.The state withthe highest population is their target. The perspectivechanges from each and every one:…… The answer is the borders aren’t well defined forNorth, East, and West India so they aren’t famous. And South Indianshave little more Regional pride than National Pride. They also like their SouthIndian identity. I mean to most of them. Their State>> Country. It doesn’t meanthey are not Patriotic or less Patriotic but their love for their State ismore, that’s all. Q10 Why is the mango called the king offruits?

The mango tree isan evergreen tree with a height of 10 to 20 meters. The mango tree has a long life span, which canlive for 300 to 400 years. The nutritionalvalue of mangoes is very high. 100 grams of mangocontains 0.63 grams of protein, 0.25 grams of fat, 1.35 grams of dietary fiber,7.6 grams of carbohydrates, 8.65 mg of carotene, 0.02 mg of vitamin B1, 0.03 mgof vitamin B2, 0.35 mg of vitamin B3, 120 mg of vitamin C, and 1.25 of vitaminE Mg, 205 mg of calcium, 55 mg of phosphorus, 4.2 mg of iron, 4.75 mg ofcopper, 32 mg of magnesium, and 2.86 micrograms of selenium. Mango has a particularly high carotene content.After carotene enters the human body, it can be quickly converted into vitaminA. One carotene molecule can be converted into two vitamin A molecules.

Q11 Should we purchase a house or continueto live on rental property if we are a middle class person? A11 Prasanna Bhalerao I have someexperience in real estate deals. September 21 There is no rightor wrong answer and it has nothing to do with economic class or status. Generally, I would advise “buying” if: You can afford it -meaning you are in a stable job and can comfortably pay the loan instalmentswithout cutting too many corners. You are sure thatyou will settle in the city permanently. You have found alocality as good as you like You have found aproperty of a size that will meet short as well as long term needs. I will advise renting if: All of the above is not trueYou do not haveenough money for down payment You will have toborrow heavily and for a long duration like 25 or 30 years. I will say try tomanage within 15 years and never exceed 20 years of loan. Q12 How does it feel to have anold father?
