Marking a history exam where the child was asked to evalute the position of Custer at the Little Big Horn:

Custer split his command into three and sent them all over the place. He then led his bit of the command into three thousand howling Indians that outnumbered him more than ten to one. They had more men and better rifles and they surrounded him. Basically, Custer was fucked.

I awarded him partial credit...

Last one for now:
I got into a discussion with one of our more challenging bretheren about why the school was actively discouraging his relationship with a certain young lady:
Danny: "Why can't I go out with Georgia?"
Me: "Because she's your half-sister."
Danny: "That didn't stop my Mum and Dad."
Me: "Ah, I see..."
Classical scientist? Every one knows he wasn't European: He was Hoser "Canadian" Bacon. (as told to me by my Canadian buddies.)

Custer? Kid's smack on target as far as I can see!

As for the last, the burning question in the very rural and developmentally backward area I had been transferred to was as follows:
"If your Mom and Dad divorce, are they still brother and sister?"
