F-Day
June 6, 2005:
(cue theme music)
On this date in history, students in the Invisible Ben's classroom started taking their final exams. Despite previous warnings from the administration the exam is noteworthy for its complete and utter lack of short answer questions and "critical thinking". This is mostly due to the district's grading system, which requires all final grades be input by Thursday. Given the difficulty of grading essay questions compared to multiple choice tests, the Invisible Ben is quietly pleased and how that worked out. He still fears that despite open book and the use of a note sheet, students will fail both his exam and his class.
The nickname F-Day was born.
For the History Channel, I'm the Invisible Ben.
