School Venting Begins

[assateague]

Here's today's. Certainly solvable, but let's remember this is second grade. The first time I read it, I tossed it aside and said "I'll come back to this". I can only imagine at what point a 7 year old says "fuck this nonsense". I just don't get the pointless, counterproductive complexity.

458? That was confusing as all get out. Bullshit way of teaching math.

[assateague]

I thought it was 457

[The Duck Hammer]

I thought it was 457

Yea youre right. I thought it said it was 2x the number in the hundreds for some reason.

[assateague]

Although the difference certainly proves that it's a bullshit question for second grade, and I'm not sure what it's teaching, but it hardly seems like math.

Ok, you got the 400 part...IT HAS TO BE four hundred something...
Tens is one more than the hundreds (same as what it said but backerds idiot style)
That means 5 is the tens (you got that)
Now 2+5 = 7

I got 457
It makes you THINK and that's the whole point.
I know...it hurts.

I admitted that I read it wrong Betty....

That was some tricky wording. Had to read it a few times, look at the wrong answer and go HUH?
It's a math question, no doubt.
I'm not sure many of the kids in AT's daughter's class got the correct answer. Maybe one.

where in the fuck does this "about" shit come from??

about 300?? maybe 350?? could it be 279? if you tell me there are about 500 ____ and 37 were X, i CAN NOT solve for Y. about has no place in math as math is all about ABSOLUTES, kinda the opposite of fucking "about " in the intended meaing, but about does not mean approximantly.

http://thesaurus.com/browse/about
maybe they should have said almost? would still make just as much sense.

Those idiot teachers should study these phrases...

"I was going about 55 mph, Trooper"


"I shot about 6 ducks today, Officer"

"I had about 9 beers, Deputy"

Fuck that, Chelsea has too many damn sand dollars

Boot said the first guy that ever tells him "I had 3 beers officer" gets a free pass, hasn't happened yet.

yup. Now it's my turn

I was just informed by my daughter than one of her teachers ends every class 10 minutes early to allow everyone to "play" on their cell phones. Only rule is they can't be on any social media. The teacher calls it "alternative activity time." What the fuck?! How bout you teach til the end of class. If the you wanna give kids time to get caught up on school work fine. If they're caught up, how bout they stick their nose in a book.

It's also amazing how many movies my kids watch at school. Fucking movies. And rarely are they educational movies.

And my last gripe is with their electives classes which the students get to chose without even discussing it with parents. I just found out Sam signed up for a fucking hacky sack class. Now you give a kid an option, they'll chose these waste of time classes. I really can't blame the kids. I woulda done the same at that age. But these shitty classes shouldn't even be an option.

I used to stand up for teachers and their jobs...before I had school age kids. But now im so sick and tired of these whiney ass teachers pissing and moaning about how difficult their jobs are and how hard they work for so little pay. They're clowns hiding behind the myth that they're educating our youth.

Sorry if anyone here's a teacher or married to a teacher. I know they aren't all clowns but I've had about as much as I can take at Toddy Thomas Middle School

Yep. When a kid only has 2 hours worth of work to do to make up for 2 missed days (and that's including homework), that's BS. Not sure what they're doing all day, but it's damn sure not educating my kids.

[3legged_lab]

I woulda aced that shit! Loved me some hacky sack in high school.

[aunt betty]

Assa shot between 150 and 185 black ducks last season...
The number in the tens position is 6 more than the number in the hundreds position.
The number in the ones position is 1 less than the number in the tens position.
How many black ducks did Assa shoot last season?

HINT:
It's NOT 335





For the math challenged we have this consolation question which is much easier.

How many pintails did assa shoot last season?

[The Duck Hammer]

176 and 0

this "about" concept totally defies the 50/50™

[aunt betty]

So glad my kid is grown up. Not sure I could handle a second grade teacher telling me I don't know shit.

We're doing basic Trig right now. U don't mind it but apparently it's the hardest subject for most people in geometry, or so I have been told.
