I graduated in '86, so I just made it! Very funny, btw.
quite amusing....my favorite line is "There are no wrong answers....!"
Good thing becuase you know some little darling might be scarred for life if you correct him/her when they say that 2 + 2 = 5.
Do we wonder why the younger generation feels entitled to immediate and enduring success on the first try?
OMG...could that be anymore true??? LOL!
Haha. And to think this is for the ADVANCED class...
Scary, isn't it??
There is a spelling/grammatical error in this post. Damn maths teachers can't spell...
Sorry, couldn't resist.
Totally, so I guess I can put my calculator away now and take a break from all those difficult math sentences. Yes, they're call math sentences now, right? (that's what my 5 year old told me)
Brilliant! Shall be sending it on to a few of my teacher friends.
Jill: So you just can't work out fractions.
Elisa: heaven forbid that there should be ANY scarring. At teacher's college they teach us how to leave NO MARKS !!!!! :-D
Stacy and Nat: Yes, I am currently making a maths workbook which mainly involves filling in the missing words. From a paragraph printed above.
AFM: Fixed. I bow to you The Spelling/Grammar Nazi.
Florida Girl: Your 5 year old is more well informed than my year 11s.
Agnes: Only we (teachers) can know the true horror behind the humour :-)
THAT, my dear, is one of the many reasons I am homeschooling my children!
Ha ha ha! That is hilarious!
