FoxTrot Classics by Bill Amend for July 23, 2020

Why would he just give away the answer like that?

Let me guess: Paige isn’t the 60% who knows the first question’s answer.

Math word problems, some people can’t see the trees for the forest.

so the teacher assumes anyone who paid attention will get at least a D?

When I was in elementary school, we use to go around the room reading each paragraph in turn, one kid said he didn’t know what the first word was (he was not paying attention) word was “THE” always remembered that!

I wonder how many actually got the answer given?

Bill Amend playing with his readers. I always love his math jokes (but then, I was always a math nerd.)

I gave a true-false quiz one time where every answer was true… it was fun to watch. (hey… teachers have to get SOME fun out of the job)

its actually a REALLY easy question, 12/30=0.4, and the teacher even GIVES the answer to everyone (which means you get it if you’re paying attention, ha ha) but the language around the numbers is demoralizing and can psyche people out

Subliminal teachers. You hate to love them but love to hate them.

they aren’t paying attention to what he is saying just like the way they didn’t pay attention to yesterday’s lecture.

Only thing I hated about math class were percentages.
