A WOMAN I know taught her son at home until he was eight. She was then considering sending him to a small private school. In order to apply to the school, the boy had to take an entrance exam.

The boy had never taken a test in his life. So the mother sat down with him and explained what a test was.

The boy then asked his mother, “Mom, does the teacher know the answers to the questions on a test?”

“Yes, she does,” the mother answered.

He sat silently for a few minutes, absorbed in thought.

Then he said, “But, Mom, if she already knows the answers, why is she asking me?”
