Do you get the question?

My lesson for 2nd grade this week is about library manners.  For example, don't run, talk quietly, put books back in the proper place etc.  The kids had a page to color with examples of different library behaviors and they had to color the good behaviors.  On the back of their paper I told them to write two ways they could be polite to others in the library.  Pretty simple question, right?  Wrong!  Half the answers I got back said "Be Polite to Others in the Library."  What!  That was the question.  After the first student gave me that answer, I tried to explain that I wanted ways they could be polite to others.  What do the next three kids answer?  The EXACT same answer as before.   Do they not get it, or were they just not listening?
