Am sithin' mad

You will never need to know algebra. I have never once used it and never once even rued that I could not use it.

Yeah, right. I'm a moron so it's not a big deal for everyone to be the same kind of a moron I am.

Why do I complain, though? As long as people are thinking something like that I'll have some means to pay my bills, after they come to me crying, unable to pass 'this damn class that is, o horror, required to get a diploma'.

You'll never need math. Yeah, right. Listen to him, girl, the country needs more cheap workers to do unqualified jobs.

And I'd recall this teacher's license immediately, if it was up to me. People like that have no right teaching in schools.

Ha. According to my daughter (who got the full truckload of high-school math here, unlike her brothers) - it's THE way to teach Math in the US schools... The textbooks are written in the "take this, put it here, - voila, here's your answer" style - so, they can't be of much help, either.

So, eghem... you'd have to fire about 90% of the teachers... :)

Oh, well... at least, not all of them forbid asking questions...

I know, I deal with the victims of this system every bloody day.

I know. Poor you, lucky them. I had it for a year (and I was not even teaching Math, just computer basics!) - and I'm still horrified.
