YoYo,
Master Zorro is cut from the same cloth.
For homework in Physics he had 20 questions they had to do a minimum of 6.After he had done the 6th he told me he'd finished, when I suggested he did a few more ( of which he was easily capable) he turned to me in horror and said "But Mum I don't want to look keen" Apparently 'looking keen ' is a cardinal sin.

Oh dearie, dearie me...Ed is going to completely flunk his German exam...he literally knows nothing...

Very stressed now...

Ed seems to think that he can speak French with a German accent.

It could be worse - Latin with a German accent!

No problem - I have been getting away with speaking French with a German accent for years. It makes me initially very unpopular on our holidays in France:

"Zut Alors! La Ros-bif, elle parle la francais avec un accent allemand! Quel horreur!"

Once I get into my stride they warm to me though, mainly through pity.

The accent doesn't matter in language exams - vocab and grammar are more important.

S-A

Ahem, I take it all back...he got an A!!!! He admits it definitely had something to do with the crib notes I ended up writing for him the night before his exam (which he looked at in the car on the way to school!!)

Well done Clever Master Ed!

I'm sure the crib notes helped, but not enough for him to get an A! (he didn't get the Headmaster Bursary for nothing)

well done Young Ed!

I laughed at the French with German accent. Thanks to a former colleague of mine there are children in Deepest Kent who speak Spanish with a broad Belfast accent!
