PRE-SCHOOL TEST FOR YOU
Which way is the bus below travelling? To the left or to the right?
Can't make up your mind?
Look carefully at the picture again, Still don't know?
Primary school children all over the UK were shown this picture and asked the same question 90% of them gave this answer:
"The bus is traveling to the right.."Experience is a difficult teacher, because she gives the test first and then the lesson afterwards!!!!

What's the betting that if you asked kids living where Arabic script is taught they would say it's travelling to the left.Clive

It has often been said that I had the mind of a primary school child........... The older I get, the more I realise that people confuse wrinkles for wisdom

Erm....we had actually figured that bit out
We just didn't write the word "Door" so as not to spoil the fun for everyone
