Teacher Math Fail

4. It took Marie 10 minutes to saw a board into 2 pieces. If she works just as fast, how long will it take her to saw another board into 3 pieces?


20 minutes X
Answer: 15

Teacher: I think you're wrong there. You see, in order to cut a board in to 2 pieces, you make 1 cut. To cut a board in to 3 pieces, you make 2 cuts. 20 minutes is right.

Any teachers out there want to fess up to making similar mistakes? Comment on this post! Or better yet, scan the document and email it to me!

Dear Mr. President

Mr. President,
I am supposed to write you a letter of things that you can do to save the world. Apperantly, today is Earth Day, so in honor of that, my science class is drawing pictures and writing fake letters to the President. What my science teacher absolutley forgot is that we are using paper which is killing trees. Is it just me or is it ironic that the way we are spreading awareness is doing the opposite of what we intend? It seems almost as if we stop spreading awareness that the whole problem they are trying to solve would just go away. See America? I am full of good ideas.

We have write on something!

Hey teacher: Ever heard of email? It doesn't kill trees and has grammar check.
