Here's a funny dialog that I just made up and that has no basis whatsoever in reality:
Teacher: Student A, how many did you get right on the quiz?
Student A: What?
Teacher: How many did you get right?
Student A: Oh, um, I missed 2.
Teacher: Yeah, but how many did you get right, out of 5?
Student A: Oh, um, 3?
Teacher: Okay 3. Student B, how many did you get right?
Student B: 100.
Teacher: A 100? But there were only 5 possible on the quiz. How many did you get right out of 5?
Student B: Oh sorry - 5.
Teacher: Thanks. Okay. Student C, how many did you get right?
Student C: Miss, am I passing your class?
Teacher: I'll look that up in a minute. How many did you get right on your quiz?
Student C: I got 2 right. Is that passing?
Teacher: No.
Student C: What percent is that?
Teacher: You should know that. It's 40%. All you have to do is divide 2 by 5. Remember, we did that last week.
Student C: I don't get that. I don't know how to divide 2 by 5.
Teacher [dryly]: That's why you only got a 2 out of 5.
Student C: Can I go to the bathroom?
That's the end. The teacher's head exploded.

awesome, im gladteacher has a sense of humor.
And you couldn't ask for better timing either. "Headless Headmistress" has a good ring to it.
That sounds like my Mom's math class, too! Only she teaches high school instead of middle school.... Sad days.
