That most definitely says Salsa. It was only after reading the text above that my brain could even recognize the 59/59.

Grade: Salsa. Because your paper was spicy.
That DOES say Salsa
Yeah and there are 4 lights.
Back in the day we would call this a humblebrag, which was the style at the time.

I used to be with it. But then they changed what it was.
Hi, I’m Leon. I’ve more than 30 years of experience reading and that says salsa.
To be fair to the kid, their teacher's handwriting has clearly gone to shit after grading papers for 25 years while barely paying their rent.
I got a paper back one time in middle school where I briefly thought my french teacher had called me a retard but apparently I'd submitted something late.
Who creates a test with 59 points?
I'd give that test a perfect 5/7.
it's probably just the number of questions that fitted on the page or similar
Nah, I saw salsa at first too.
Once got a test back with 42 written at the top, spent a while freaking out about how I possibly could have failed so badly. Turned out I'd forgotten to write my name on it, and my teacher had written it in for me... My name is Liz. Served me well during my H2G2 phase.
H2G2?
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - 2 Hs, 2 Gs. The best acronyms are the ones that take several extra steps to explain.
Shouldn't it be H3G2? Hitchhiker has 3 Hs, not 2.
(Hitch) + (Hiker) + (Guide) + (Galaxy) = H2G2
What kind of sociopath would include the "h" at the end of Hitch in that acronym? That's some real honest-to-god serial killer prediction behaviour right there, sir.
Take it up with Douglas Adams :/ https://h2g2.com/
If your ":/" is an actual unhappiness, I'm sorry; I meant this to be bone dry humor and not criticism.
More likely sadness that Douglas Adams is dead. That causes me actual unhappiness.
Ater is not beating the AI allegations
Why take a shortcut when you can go the long way around?
Part of the reason my handwriting is so bad is because I couldn't accept criticism from teachers when they all wrote like this.
Look at the smart fucker with his salsa.
Ive struggled for years and never got a salsa on my tests.
Teacher needs to either take a handwriting course or become a doctor
Or go COMPLETELY berserk and earn a doctorate in handwriting, somehow.
My fourth grade teacher would openly announce grades when handing out test and he liked to scary the students. He would loudly announce someone failed if they got a high grade before they could see the test itself.
Your fourth-grade teacher sounds like a dick.
I remember everyone liking him.
Yeah, that sounds all in good fun. I bet he'd say it with a sly smile.
That’s illegal nowadays. Teachers have to protect wtudents privacy. FERPA is the relevant law
Only in the US
