The Math wall.....

These new ways you speak of are garbage. Woke math has no place in the real world. Several lessons I learned from math although there are more.

1. Always clear fractions into decimals. Fractions are pain in the ass to work with.

2. Don't bother trying to sq rt a negative number. Just conclude an irrational number is the answer.

3. Don't bother asking why a negative number times or divide another negative number yields a positive number.

Stand and Deliver!

Some Elementary kids can't tie their own shoes, that's on the parents.

Some high school kids don't tie their shoes. It's 'the look' now.

I have the utmost respect for TEACHERS. I have ZERO RESPECT for the Leftist/Democrat administrators and higher ups that have destroyed our public education system. I took Algebra 1 in the 8th grade it's freaking easy!

If you can understand a simple timeline, Algebra shouldn't be a big deal.

If you can understand a simple timeline, Algebra shouldn't be a big deal.

It clearly is a big deal for US school kids, but should not be. If you don't understand the teacher, there are great online tutorials like Khan Academy. Parents need to step up.

You would all be shocked by how many carpenters cannot lay out a building foundation.

Hell. most carpenters can't do rafters anymore. They rely on trusses.

1). What. These 3 go together.
These 3 are Fractions, Decimals, and Percents.
Rote basic math is, you know ONE of the 3, find the other 2.
Basic Math.

2) Sure, you are confused once again. √ -1 = i
Not irrational, the √ of a negative number is imaginary.
Do you even know the definition of a rational number or an irrational number, which have other to do with imaginary numbers. Except the fact that the Real Numbers combined with the Imaginary Numbers make up a new set of numbers called the Complex Numbers.

3) A negative sign can also mean 'the opposite of'
Therefore -(-3) means the opposite of -3, which is 3.
or (-4)(-5) means the opposite of the opposite of (4)(5) which is 20.

Thanks for letting me educate you.

My math teacher said this back in the days, "the only way you learn math is do math".

I wouldn't be shocked if the principal calls him into the office for saying that today.

1) True
2) False

The "human resources manager"? What the hell is his/her function? Is it to get the right race based/sexual orientation staff on board? Maybe you should consider eliminating the position.

Do charter schools have special education classrooms?

Do charter schools get to refuse students?

If more students apply than they can accommodate, Charter schools go to a lottery.

Construction sites are dirty, wet and messy ... paper documents don't last the day, "devices" and calculators go bozo in the mud ... draw your floor plan on a cocktail napkin and I can build that house just counting on my fingers ... except for trusses ...

Nailed it Reiny......., and for that very reason my apprenticeship mentors had us 'do it all in our heads' , passing us if close........~S~

You don't consider those deportations winning? Is something wrong with you?

Do you consider that a defeat?

For some, YES, absolutely SOME are being accused and convicted wrongly, without a trial, but so ******* what.......right.

If more students apply than they can accommodate, Charter schools go to a lottery.

So they say......wink....wink.

Let's just pretend that there is just ONE student with severe autism.....(damn that Tylenol).....will the parents be kindly asked to 'opt out' because they simply don't have that one teacher available to serve that ONE student.
