This reminds me of the numerous times where I've written, "IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAND" on my Math tests.

I once put, "What does it matter what the stupid parabola is? I'm working at Walgreens for the rest of my life; we should just admit it."

Worth a shot if you couldn't work it out I guess.

I do these sometimes. I'm taking a Japanese class in college right now, since a foreign language is required to get an AA.

Whenever there's a verb I don't know, I usually put something like 'to fail' or 'to kill (you)'. My professor is awesome.




But have you guys ever had a teacher that doesn't actually check the your papers? In my 10th grade English class, we had to fill out a paper about a movie that I totally slept through, so I just answered every question with a different food (because I was hungry), and got 100%.

I love it when teachers glaze over our papers. My Spanish class is like that. Since we get so much homework, the teacher gives it all for her TA to grade, whom I know. This allows me to write stuff like

4) Como se dice?
5) Hey ____, I love you. Give me an A. Muchas smoochas.
6) You're so fine.

This is a guy, in case you were wondering. It's very awkard when the teacher gives it to another student who needs extra credit.

I find this kind of strange that they force so much mathmatical equations into our heads,yet in the future we use a minimal amount of what we know(My Lab teacher has a Masters,and he doesn't even remember algebra that well).

They say that we will need math for all situations in life,to calculate,and predict...but in what scenario will we run into a situation such as this.When you skate board down a ramp,are you constantly thinking about your mass,height of the ramp etc.Or even if your playing a game of football.

Lets see...The weight of the object is 750 g and I am throwing the object at a 40 degree angle upwards at an Initial velocity of 80 K/mh...by the time you figure it out,you've already been sacked.

IMO,the only jobs you will need math for are in Architecture,some in Graphics Design(Some Geometry and Booleans),or in Physics(If there are more,let me know,Lol).Math is important,but I don't believe that it will be used constantly in our lives outside of work(Probably only in our work life).

I really don't think that if you are not a mathmatical efficient person,you instantly fail at life.It is this pressure that causes lack of confidence in mathmatical skill.

To my suprise,I recently talked to my Lab teacher,he hardly remembers algebra,and my school principal even forgot multiplication.


This is just from me personally but any way you put it..


MATH IS POWER!!

THIS IS SPARTAAAAAA!!!!!

Behind you.
I did something similar to this a while back, after I heard about this (it was on Digg like...a month ago maybe).

The question was 'The Lone Ranger shoots a silver bullet weighing .03kg into the air straight upwards at a velocity of 150 m/s. Find how far the bullet travels.'

I wrote '75m, where it hits an endangered bald eagle, which falls to the ground. The Wild Life Police come and take the Lone Ranger away, fining him and giving him jail time so that he won't ever shoot bullets haphazardly again.'

I got half credit. :-D

Once in high school our PE teacher, before he was kicked out for fooling around with this student, was forced to give us test, which he hated. On one test he graded, I put "rur" and got +2. My friend put the correct answer and got -2. It was freakin' awesome. Another time, he was standing by the garbage can, "accidentally" knocked all the test in and spilled a gatorade on that, said it was his fault, and gave us As.

I love gym teachers, what a great career track. "I want to teach, but not learn anything... KICKBALL!"
Seriously, you will never need anyting past basic algebra... this is from my math teacher. The reason we're learning it is because Plato put it in the curriculum ans they haven't sorted out the red tape yet.
