Teaching Math In 1990s A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands.

Teaching math under WhoSane Obama years



Teaching Math In 2013 Who cares, just steal the lumber from your rich neighbor's property. He won't have a gun to stop you, and the President says it's OK anyway cuz it’s redistributing the wealth.

I'm not sure what your point is, but I agree with you.
 
Math in 2013 done by anyone under the age of 25.

The bill comes to $19.25 the customer gives you a $20 bill but for some strange reason also a quarter. How much change is he due?

Answer?

Ummm, hold on a minute I need my I-pad.

I particularly like when the bill is 19.62 and I give a $20 and then after they have input it into the cash pop them the 12 cents.
