This is super weird. A 2006 incident just surfaced recently in the newspapers that a British student, in 2006, turned in an English exam paper with only the words “fuck off”. The examiner awarded him two points out of a maximum of 27 points.

The examiner explained that the two points are for the message that “fuck off” was able to convey, and the words were spelt correctly. He also said that he would have awarded a higher mark if the student had punctuated the words, as in “fuck off!”

That’s why, we in Asia have known all along that education is not taken as seriously over there in the West than here. What else can you say when you get two credits for turning in a paper with just “fuck off” and the examiner even justified that by saying that it’s better than not writing anything at all!
