Some Early Favourites From the History Exam

Q: What was The Iron Curtain?

A big metal curtain which blocks the sunlight, made of iron. Because this is a foolish idea, there was only ever one made thus dubbing it 'The' Iron Curtain.
Honestly: no idea.

(part of an essay on the Vietnam War))
Back at home, the public was getting anxious(? not sure..difficult to read). They wanted the soldiers back and were willing to fight for it. Ironic. They want peace so they'll fight for it. LOL

Now, I seem to remember that you spent a lot of time teaching them about Tom Lehrer in your Iron Curtain module. Our Tom never actually mentions the Iron Curtain as such, so your student may be forgiven. Tell me, did you supplement your vinyl teaching materials with a conventional textbook.

Haha! Those are great. If they would apply themselves as much to studying as to being smart-tails, they might get along better. :)
