I'm about 50% serious here guys.

I think it was 60 Minutes that had a segment on a teacher who had great success teaching his students when he put things in the context of business ownership.

Capitalism motivates people to succeed.

It's no coincidence that leftists work to eliminate it, even as they destroy public education.

Funny you say that... I just cracked open monopoly for my 7 year old last night and she fell in love with the game. I got more basic algebra work out of here in an hour than I normally do in a week.

I probably am not supposed to laugh but those are hilarious. They also have some solid math principles. If I was a math teacher I would be soooooo tempted to use these

scratch that off your bucket list.....you've been (f)logged

Urges working “Social Justice” into math problems… One lesson example they suggest: “Home Buying While Brown or Black.”


I was taught that in Home and Family Relations class. Also how to make a bed which I also learned from a drill instructor.

Fit is our resident leftist teacher. Where is he in this thread?

I'm here to tell ya, you take the most uneducated person in the country and have him buy a $5 item using a $20 bill he suddenly becomes a math wiz if the cashier only gives him $10 in change.

aha, a bizarro robin hood giving back to the right....that's how the bizarro world works

edit: oops, my mistake.....that's our foreign lending policy.....

If they want to work social behaviors into math calculations, I have one they can use:

1. If an "occupy" protest attracts 17 liberals who have not showered or performed body hygiene for the past 19 days, how many pounds of feces will they defecate on the sidewalk on the first day of the protest? And, please, as always, show your work.
