My students failed my semester exam...most of them could not identify more than one noun in a sentence.

I give up.

The instructions said to underline all of the nouns in the sentence
this is the same EXACT method we have used ALL FUCKING YEAR
in fact
it is the SAME TEST I gave them on nouns earlier in the year.

so....
The boy thinks that is a good idea

...they underlined boy but they left idea out
which means the whole fucking thing is wrong
which means that they fail
which means that I fail

I HATE MY JOB!!!!!!
