Ist not none fiction

No, our youngest has not begun taking German lessons, though that's not a bad idea. We are back in the throes of school and someone is having a rougher-than-expected time remembering to submit fourth grade level work. This is a copy of the weekly language arts expectations:


This is what the stinkwad tried to get away with. He's supposed to write three to five sentences, with corresponding capital letters, punctuation, the usual requirements. He thought he'd work the system. He chose the box that instructs, "If your book is non-fiction write three facts you learned."

To which he responded, "ist not none fiction" in case you can't read it because it's sideways. What he meant was "It's not nonfiction." He figured he then didn't have to write any more. What am I going to do with this child?
