Goat Answers

We're going over the Multistate Performance Test, which is basically a huge closed universe essay. The guy is hilarious, but I thought this was the best (paraphrased):

"What they're looking for is sheep answers. You can write a goat answer. . . that's cool, that's cool. Be a goat. But do you want to be so different that a grader is going to get alert and think, 'Huh, this is different. . . maybe I should read this EXTRA carefully because it's so different'?"

"Good idea? Good idea?"
