[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised at how many people are dismissing the importance of following directions and actually doing what was assigned, even at work.

If I give an employee a task with specific instructions, it's because I need it that way.  Maybe I need a specific font, or maybe even a specific border, because your task is one small part of a bigger presentation and I don't have time to be fixing everyone's borders and fonts.

And if I ask you to prepare a presentation on XYZ, I'm not going to be happy if you give me a presentation about ABC,
no matter how amazing it is and how much brilliance it showed.  I asked you to demonstrate XYZ.

Especially in the case of the Spanish test, the child did *not* demonstrate knowledge that was asked.  [b]If OP's kid wrote that Buenos Dias means good day, it does *not* demonstrate that he knows when or how to use the phrase, which it sounds like was what was being evaluated.[/b]

This is the thing though. Doesn't knowing that Buenos Dias means "good morning" in English indicate that you know it is a greeting and not a farewell? I mean, it's strongly implied. It's worthy of partial credit.

I hate stingy teachers who are just looking for ways to knock kids down instead of build them up. A lot of teachers hate kids. [/quote]

PP said “good day,” not “good morning.”  Which kind of just proves the point.[/quote]

No one says "good day" in English. [/b]They say something that more specifically points to the time of day: morning, afternoon, evening. That's the more accurate translation. You would use Buenos tardes for afternoon or noche for evening. [/quote]
Is English even your first language?  :lol:
