Mal ,'Ariel'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
She's made it very clear to her classes that if you do not know the answer to a question (in this case the question was "Name one thing we talked about this week."), be clever.
I'm sorry, but this is bullshit. The student got one answer wrong. Unless the quiz is presented up front as a 100% pass/fail, she should only be penalized for her answer to THAT question. Calling her out for not being "clever" enough just seems mean to me.
Jess, I am SO with you. (& u no it! lol)
Or, if IDK is anathema, then FYI and OK should be banished as well.
Also this.

My eyes, my eyes!!!!
Actually, I think asking for clever answers opens the door to the student and you should be more lenient.
I'd mark that one question wrong, and make a point in class that text speak is verboten.
I don't think you can flunk the whole quiz after you've asked for clever responses when you don't know the answer.
Besides, "IDK" barely qualifies as text-speak.
And maybe she was using it ironically! My friends use IDK occasionally, as in "IDK, my BFF Jill?"
FYI is an accepted abbreviation in Webster's 10th Edition.
I'd totally expect to get busted for FYI in a school assignment too. I can't imagine it being appropriate. I'd also expect OK to be corrected to okay.
Lunch place gave me miso soup instead of salad. FAIL.
FYI is an accepted abbreviation in Webster's 10th Edition.
