I am not sure who the bigger fail is. Marie or the teacher. 10 minutes to make 1 cut. Come on Marie.

I also think the question is misleading. It should say "If she works just as slow, how long will it take her to saw another board into 3 pieces?"

I had a math teacher like that in Jr High. It's burned into my brain like it was yesterday....

The question was "what is Pi equal to?" I answered 3.1416, the teacher marked that wrong and said the correct answer was 3.14 (because that was the answer listed in the book). I tried to explain to the dumbass where he made his mistake and instead of listening he sent me to the principles office for taking back to him....

Instead of going to the principles office I called my ol' man and he came down and straightened the dumbass out in a loud and clear voice, while holding the teacher by the front of his shirt so his feet couldn't touch the ground in front of the entire class.... sometimes its nice having an old school dad and growing up back in the day.... probably have to go to feelings counseling or some other bullshit if you tried that now days....

The teacher wouldn't even grade my work after that... just marked me 100% on anything I turned in...

My dad and I still laugh about this whenever one of us brings it up....

Yup. Good ol' Assault. Used to 'solve' a lot of problems. Good to teach the kids that Might Makes Right!

"Feelings counseling" - is that what they call county jail these days???

Dang, where's the answer key? Maybe this is 2 people at fault; the original author, and the teacher blindly following the answer key. Either way, I hope the teacher didn't come up with that on their own, maybe they can blame the system. :haha:

I think the teacher needs to go to the wood shop and learn how many cuts it takes to make three pieces from one, or two from one for that matter. Are you kidding me? :lol8: Framing or finish carpentry ain't his summer job. :lol8:

says the math teacher. you got parents like this?

Well apparently this is the result of fewer physical threats to the teacher.

Think of the children.

Yeah, I'm not so supportive of the physical violence either, but dressing down a stupid-ass teacher who tried to use their authority to belittle their students...that's very fitting.

I had this pathetic Chemistry teacher in High School. My dad was a chemist (electroplating). This teacher was just about senile and we wasted weeks on the stupidest stuff like the slide rule or how H and Cl combine. I think my dad blamed him for my not liking chemistry. This guy had tenure though and there was no real way to get rid of him. That inspired my Mom to run for and get elected to the school board.

I had a Jr High teacher that stated up front if you could prove him wrong on the test question then you got an A for the quarter.

Not exactly...but at the same time I admit when I make mistakes...everyone does, teachers included.

By saying I was with Tom on this one I wasn't siding with the teacher. I was making my point that the parent mentioned went about finding a resolution in the wrong way and was not to be lauded for their efforts.

Except, perhaps, in providing job security for Mr. Card.... :lol8:

And people wonder why this country is heading down the toilet....

Mediocrity - let's not let anybody be better than anyone else.

There is nothing wrong with being the strongest or toughest kid on the block.... and using it to your advantage.... Same as there is nothing wrong with being the smartest, the richest, the cutest, the prettiest or the most well educated and using it to your advantage....

Funny how its always the little guys bitchin' about using power to your advantage..... if you buy into that the only thing you have accomplished is letting the little guy out smart you....

YMMV

I don't think anyone was complaining about people using power to their advantage....IN THE RIGHT SETTING. But using your size to bully....not cool with that.

I'm 6'5" FWIW.
