I had to do a family tree project in 10th grade. I'll never forget it. We had to create the actual tree itself, right, and then we had to write a report about the tree with more detail about our families, where they were from, and all that.
So I started out writing how my ancestors came over in whatever year, and I used their family name, and off in the margin in big red letters my teacher writes "THIS IS NOT THE NAME YOU IDENTIFIED THEM BY ON YOUR TREE. -10"
Then in the next paragraph I talked about how they changed their name when they came over, which is the name I used on the actual tree portion of the project. In the margin, my teacher writes:
"OH. SORRY. +10"
