I had the best High School Biology instructor, Ms. Dega Patterson of Moriarty, NM. It was the beginning of a new year and she wanted to see where we were at academically, so she gave us a test. She instructed us to read the directions thoroughly. I began reading the usually long, detailed instructions. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Until it said, "Go to the last question". So, I did. Question #30: As you have read the instructions, you do not need to complete the test. However, turn the test over & look busy for the remaining time. I looked around the room & saw classmates hovered over their tests, writing with fervor. I think 2 others followed the instructions because they looked like they were passing notes to each other. After about ½ hour, Ms. Patterson called it. She had a student read the directions aloud and had all of us flip to question #30. There was a pause and then a collective groan. Thanks to my Biology instructor, I read what I sign. Yes, it may take a little longer. However, it may save time, effort, money, privacy, or even one's identity in the future.
