My daughter, year 11, has had to write an economics essay on how the government should reduce unemployment... Except she didn't. She misread it and has managed to write an entire essay on how the government should reduce employment. The poor girl was mortified, having realised just before she was due to hand it in, but I can't stop laughing. (She asked the teacher if she should rewrite it but has been told just to hand it in, given the amount of work that went into it.) Her conclusion was that it is self-centred and selfish of the government and she couldn't see why they would do that.
I have told her that if she has managed to pull that off, then that is quite a skill and will stand her in good stead for essays at university ... just not for economics.
