The bacon is over there

I teach English 101 at a community college. For years I've tried to explain to people what it's like to teach this class. Only those who have done it will understand.
So, in order to maintain my sanity, I will provide you, my humble readers, with samples from actual students' essays, quizzes and writing. Never, ever, will I reveal who wrote them or provide a long enough example to trace this back to the student. This is not meant to humiliate. It's meant as a coping mechanism, a way for me to maintain my sanity and share with the world some of the best and some of the worst. 

Below might be the best answer I've ever received on a grammar quiz. And he even got it right.
