2highpsi Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Tell me, I am missing some obvious word.... I can't believe a second grader is suppose to know "genus"... so I can't even figure out, of all the words that could be used..... why "Venus" http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii37/jordancampbell2008/photo.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 genus? I agree--a 2nd grader wouldn't very likely know that word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hpfiend Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 I think he intended to type "genius". or maybe genus species? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benner Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Just write Penis, but in the best handwriting possible so the teacher realizes it wasn't them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2highpsi Posted September 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 I thought of genus, and that's what we used. But it's a word he has never been taught, and the homework is all stuff that is suppose to be done on their own. Genius doesn't really rhyme. I was just kind of amazed of the thousands of words that could have been used, why "Venus" when the only real answe is a word that not one child in the class knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Well, maybe she wrote "-(us word)" so parents wouldn't get mad and that would also rule out "penis". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2highpsi Posted September 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Lol. I got the whole -us thing. Genus is the answer. I'm not questioning that. Maybe I'm way off, but I would bet atleast 10% of the parents don't know the word genus, nor the meaning. Let alone the kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
