not just technically correct, but logically correct as well. those pupils are clearly thinking outside the box.

One of my favorite quotes of all time goes thus: "I was born intelligent, education ruined me!". Nothing speaks to this more than these kinds of answers. Unconventional thinking is to be encouraged, not shot down. It is the stuff of which creative problem solving is made. A big round of applause for the Nyakeminchans!!!

I am for this school of thought.

Mzungu left us an education which does not allow us to think independently and creatively. We should discard anything British and go back to the drawing board for African inspired education that allows learning instead of memorization.

When interest on bonds keep going up, you know the bear run is on high street. When interest on bonds start leveling, the bear has met the bull and they have hit rock bottom. When the interest rates on bonds start coming down, the bull has overpowered the bear and you better be riding the bull.
