scoring in school was always very tricky. unless you are sure of the answer, do not jot them down. because, a wrong answer won't just get you low marks, which is secondary, but also undivided and unwanted attention in classroom when the teacher read out your answers. just to sight an example of what not to write. sometimes if you have been hit by a germ of genius, then your answer might become folklore.
once our biology teacher asked us to state the position of fallopian tube in the human system. one of us, name with-held, answered that it's the tube which connects the eardrum to the outer part of the ear. now, we cannot really blame her. such names are confusing. anyways, to the uninitiated, fallopian tube is an integral part of the female reproductive system. her mistake was not out of this world. one can take years to explore one self.
another instance is when we were answering the history paper. the topic under scrutiny Indian Freedom Movement, and role of Hindus and Muslims. one of us, again name with-held, wanted to write, 'hindu and muslims fought shoulder to shoulder for India's freedom', instead she wrote, 'hindus and muslims fought soldier to soldier...'

I'm sorry but no matter how hard you try, you will never discover the fillopian tube, unless you're doing surgery on yourself.
Reproduction and education is so overrated. Come to think of it, every thing that ends with ion is the same.
That's my validiction.

so much agree especially those ugly teachers who wouldnt mind ripping the ignorance cover in the public forum actually discouraging virgin thoughts & wonderful ideas germinate & kill them even before they were born..Guess the fallopian tube tryst!
