'arguments' I have with my husband about 'bring' and 'take.'
Peering out from beneath Harry Potter's legacy from his father.
bring the test to the classroom or take it to the classroom
Of course 'bring' and 'take' describe exactly the same action; it's only the point of view that changes. When viewed from the classroom, the professor brings the test, when viewed from the professor's office the professor takes the test.
Note: This is not to say that the professor takes the test in the same sense that the students take the test. I'm voting with anchita, too.
