Win?
Total win! Teacher Fail!
+1
We also would have accepted:
* amateur
* anti-
This is great, but it brings me back to the 30-second rule. So in summary, not great.
DID HE DIE?
Yes. The great complexity of this antonym exam was too much for his weak little heart.
oh no! :’(
Don’t worry, Commander Epic the Great. In his honor – his body was thrown at a fast food clerk.
oh ok. haha.
.ahah .ko ho
LOL! Have a great evening!
Anyone else notice the irony? He corrected the word “careless” (although he changed an “e” to an…. “e”? :S)
Bit careless of him if you ask me!
That was greatly careless on his part! LOL!
what about con
But not the corrct answer con.
Excellent! Opposite of a “pro” is a noob–well-done!!
No, the opposite of death is life.
Live is the opposite of die.
How is this a fail? >:O
because you are a noob.
lol
no the teacher is noob soo he dont like this word
Thats definately a win!
You definitely fail.
Mmhm.
You definitely troll.
You definitely lurk.
the real fail is that the teacher accepted “hopefull” as correct although the word should be written “hopeful”.
Also, wouldn’t the opposite of “death” be “life”? Suspicious at best.
I thought birth was the opposite of death.
Live is the opposite of dead.
I presume the opposite of “Pro-” is anti-
Or “Con” maybe…
Man this teacher fails pretty hard, leaving those mistakes and not knowing what a noob is
And they say it takes one to know one… Guess they were wrong.
There’s a hyphen after “pro” which implies it’s referring to the prefix, not the word pro.
“The opposite of ‘pro’ is ‘con’ –
This fact is clearly seen.
If ‘progress’ means ‘move forward’,
Then what does ‘Congress’ mean?”
— Nipsey Russell
You should be careful going around asking what congress means, someone might offer to show you.
I’ve been trying to get them to show it to me for years.
so the opposite of professional is confessional
lol
To have internet style flame wars IRL
fail.. dead is the opposite of alive.. numb dumby
If it was a Catholic school the opposite of death would be conception.
You’re an idiot. If you cannot see why then all hope for you is lost.
no1curr
A “v” on a test is usually meaning it is incorrect answer..
Those are check marks.
actually the mistake is death and live.. the antonym of live is die.. and the antonym of death is life.. FYI… xeon…
Opposite of death would be birth as they are both events. The opposite of dead would be live.
Total win.
Not to mention the acceptance of the word “live” instead of the word “life” as an opposite for “death.”
That’s what I reckoned the first place despite I’m not a native speaker. I’m glad I speak better than an English teacher! (fail)
Yeah, that bugged me, too. Teacher should at least have made a correction, whether or not points were deducted (taking into account this may be a younger student).
the opposite of the ‘death’ would be ‘birth’ wouldnt it?
‘dead’ could be ‘alive, live, or life’
old
and fake
like your girlfriend?
^ this
nice!
Or his mom.
Fake? Possibly.
Old? Yes, and that’s why it’s marked ‘Classic’.
Noob? That’s you!
still a win
Also, this is a fail on the teacher’s part. Noob is a synonym for amateur as defined by various dictionaries, and by dictionary.com as someone who is new to a group.
It’s also defined as a slang word in dictionary.com. Slang is not acceptable on a school test.
It can be. It has been for me, and I went to a very conservative old-school french private school.
I don’t think it should be, but even in this case, the test says “pro-” as a prefix, so the answer should be “con-”.4
Ack, ignore that “4″ there, that slipped in by accident…
Opposite of death should be birth. Not live, life or anything.
‘Life’ is indeed an opposite for ‘death’.
And the event of birth is not really the opposite of the event of death anyway. It wold be closer to say that they are converses.
*would
(I type that typo a lot.)
do you really believe the moment of birth is when life begins? o_O
Actually, the opposite of death is not birth, as a baby may be stillborn. It is still considered a birth, but not a live birth.
Well someone can die for a brief period and come back, that doesn’t mean they didn’t die
surely the opposite of “live” is “playback” – that is where the FAIL lies!
Lipsynk.
This is mos def a WIN!
teacher fail!!!
WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN
win? why’s that?
because of the updawg
What’s updawg?
[couldn't help it]
That’s a win. Period.
A period win? How does that go?
No, a win period. A time of many wins.
Oh, thanks for setting that straight for everyone. Wish you’d come earlier before people started debating.
Win!
Failblog fail for not moving this to Win!
what a noob teacher.
WIN
failblog fail because this was posted before.
*points to “CLASSIC” label*
It says “pro-” not “pro” so the kid was wrong either way
This is a total win!
What the hell kind of school would have such a moronic test?
THAT IS A WIN!!! WTH WAS THAT TEACHER THINKING
I LOVE [sarcasm] how the teacher simply put a QUESTION MARK there instead of taking off credit. As if to imply that as long as it makes sense to the kid, it’s a correct answer. *sigh*
WIN! PLOX FIX NOOBBLOG.
Opposites do not exist – it is a concept created by humans to understand the world around them in a limited spectrum of awareness. I say black – you say white / i say up – you say down. Conditioned responses brought on by this kind of BS teaching.
If there were an opposite to anything it would be nothing : what’s the opposite of apple? What’s the opposite of grass? Nothing is the opposite of everything no matter what matter it is .
The opposite of apple is obviously orange. This is pure logic, not a conditioned reaction.
And I say “Captain” you say “yes”. Pure logic
^This (to WTF)
Light and dark are opposites. If there is light it is not dark and if it is dark there is not light.
Granted, there are degrees of this and I am referring to the extreme of both. Also you cannot be alive and dead at the same time so those too are opposites.
Your logic is illogical. Not all things HAVE an opposite. This in no way negates the existence of those things which do.
you cannot occupy the same space as me at any given time so i guess that makes your position and my position opposites – by your ‘logic’.
Light and dark are the one thing in a spectrum of variable degrees. Light and dark would be polarities of that one thing, not opposites.
Pain is an extreme of pleasure but based on your ideas – they would be opposites, not likely.
Being alive compared to dead is like saying “life” or “not life” in which case my original statement would hold up re: If there were an opposite to anything it would be nothing.
The opposite of apples are windows.
There’s a philosopher who says that opposites are born from opposites, or something alike. Like something cannot be big without something else being small. And that there’s an action for going from one opposite to the other. Complicated stuff, I say.
Noob is a slang , he should write Newbie
This teacher fails so hard. It is the only one that is a prefix rather than an entire words and noob is every bit as accurate as anti or amateur.
since there’s a hyphen after “pro,” that leads one to believe that “anti-” was indeed the correct answer, and so amateur, newbie, noob, and con would all be incorrect. For instance, pro-abortion group vs. anti-abortion group. You would never say “con-abortion.” “Noob,” is obviously right out. Neither of those make any sense to anyone but a little noob brat. Stupid kit should be expelled.
Did we mention it’s your kid?
This is a win!
Jeeze you kids are neive and moronic!
The same answer have been given previously on failblog, thought it does not seem to be the same test. It’s still quite amusing thought!
Teacher FAIL for letting him have “live” instead of “life”. Too lenient. *bends cane*
The true fail here is the teacher.
‘Hopefull’ is alright? Helloooo~ it’s ‘hopefuL’. Not to mention that death =! life, not live, die =! live…
Hey, this is not fail! Its an Epic Win!
haha imagine trying to explain that one to the teacher!!!
FAILblog fail…
this is SUCH a win!!
Opposite of death is not live; it’s life. It’s hopeful not hopefull. Is this the cause of education budget cuts? Teachers who accept incorrect responses?
its been said, but it needs to be said again. this is a win.
This is such a win. Failblog, the user that posted this, and the teacher are all Noobs for not knowing this is a WIN! I guess not everyone can be 1337.
no word “noob” in any dictionary
pro – noob eh eh eh big fail
Did anyone notice that it should have been hopeful instead of hopefull?
The teacher’s a noob.
Hey everybody! It should have been hopeful instead of hopefull!!!!!! Bring on more 1st graders’ homework, I’m in the mood to do some criticizing.
If I had been that teacher, I think I would have had to give it to him. LOL
Maybe you should try n00b
Most of these aren’t even direct opposites. Teacher and student FAIL.
WIN!!!
Win! I guess kid was just being funny?
Old and definitely a WIN!
The Teacher seems to be stupid, too. If it’s “death” then the antonym is “life” noch “live”…
PS: hail to the pink rubber glove
This is proof that the internet has ruined the world. No wonder schools are closing all over America. Kids are stupid from playing world of warcraft or whatever it is they play…..Im pro. No your a dumbass who fails at simple tests.
“Hopefull” got a tick. This teacher CANNOT SPELL! #hopeful
