It was ten years ago, 9th grade, a literature exam, I took it on the wish. Questions are not difficult, read the verse by the mouth and analyze it and tell about your favorite work. I read the verse, analyzed it, and when it came to my favorite work, the circus began. I decided to tell about the Quiet Don, this novel very loved and read up to 3 times at the time, such a strong impression on me he made. When I said that I was going to tell about it, the teacher interrupted me (the committee took the exam from the Zavoč and not our teacher of literature) and stated that I could not read this novel, it is passed in 11th grade and I have written down everything. On my argument that I read the book up to 3 times, she began to boil even more with the bile and says - He is once and then hardly read, and you are not red saying that I have read it three times. Shortly not to believe, forced to show all the pockets, sleeves and other things and in a good way to admit that I wrote off and then put 3, and so in general 2 I get and stay for the second year in 9th grade. For all the arguments that this was a work of choice and what the point of lying about it didn't matter to her. I was seriously going to put two, but some like her voice understood that I answered well and we didn't see him write, so let's put 5 to him and let go, but the teacher did not give up and claimed first about a pair, then at least about a three, in the end we put 4 for the perfect answer. So I got to know human stupidity more closely.
