Dwayne? The Rock?
As a fellow geek...
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
And the math is WAY too easy for middle school.
Reminds of “In Living Color”, booked on phonics skits.
Shut up and answer the question.
I get:
Each ho must turn out at leas 3 licks/trix a day, and they fittin-to shopliftin 35 dollas of Colt 45 beer and Newport Menthol cigarettes, he gonna betch-slap yo makeup off.
This kind of racist c/ap was on the decline until Obama came on the scene.
I’m not sure they can fire the guy....these are all legit math questions and circle the reality of life.
If they fire the guy...he’ll just hire Juan (who makes $27) an hour, for 120 hours of work...to sue the school for $35,000 and reinstate him. In the end, will he get any action from Dwayne’s HO’s? Unknown, it’s a red herring question.
puts a new meaning to grass seed problems
For years these people have been screaming about making education relevant to the lives of their students.
this teacher is guilty of complying with their request.
Ebonics, meet Math!
Hilarious!
Reminds of Kathleen Turner in the movie “Peggy Sue Got MArried.” She was in Algebra class and the teacher was yelling at her to pay attention. She finally gets up and say “I will never use this in real life and I speak from personal experience.” and walks out.
Question 4 doesn’t make sense to me. How could this be answered unless you know what price Raul is selling the bags for? Or do we assume he is selling the bags or $2500/oz, the same price he paid for it?
“Hilarious!”
I think this teacher is totally Evil-
8th graders- mandatory to do this?
MULTIPLE Evil scenarios- disguised as math questions-
hope this guy/girl “teacher” rots in hell
Garrett Morris: Good evening, and welcome to “Black Perspective”. I’m your host, Garrett Morris. Tonight our guest is Mr. Julian Bond, and we’ll be talking about the myths surrounding black I.Q. Specifically, the myth that whites are inherently more intelligent than blacks.
Julian Bond: Good evening, Garrett.
Garrett Morris: Now, Julian, perhaps you could explain something to me. In all these studies comparing black I.Q. to white I.Q., what kind of test is used to measure I.Q.’s in the first place?
Julian Bond: Well, this is the major problem with these studies. The measurements of I.Q. which form the basis of comparison come from tests composed by whites for whites. The tests are culturally biased; it’s not surprising that whites would score better than blacks.
Garrett Morris: Could you give us an example of what you’re talking about?
Julian Bond: Certainly. Here are some questions that have appeared on recent I.Q. tests. Number one: “You have been invited over for cocktails by the officer of your trust fund. Cocktails begin at 4:30, but you must make an appearance at a 6:00 formal dinner at the Yacht Club. What do you do about dress?
A. Wear your blue-striped seersucker suit to cocktails and change into your tuxedo in the bathroom, apologizing to your host for the inconvenience.
B. Wear your tuxedo to cocktails, apologizing to your host for wearing a dinner jacket before 6:00 PM.
C. Walk to the subway at Columbus Circle and take the “A” Train uptown.”
Garrett Morris: Uh.. I guess I’d choose the last one.
Julian Bond: I’m sorry, that’s incorrect.
Garrett Morris: Damn.
Julian Bond: Here’s another: “When waxing your skis for a cross-country run, you should...”
Garrett Morris: [ interrupting ] Well, I think I understand the problem with the tests. But the fact is that people have been saying that white people are smarter than black for hundreds of years. We’ve only had I.Q. tests for 20 or 30 years. How did the idea of white intellectual superiority originate?
Julian Bond: That’s an interesting point. My theory is that it’s based on the fact that light-skinned blacks are smarter than dark-skinned blacks.
Garrett Morris: [ not sure he heard that right ] Say what?
Julian Bond: I said I think it might have grown out of the observation that light-skinned blacks are smarter than dark-skinned blacks.
Garrett Morris: I don’t get it.
Julian Bond: It’s got nothing to do with having white blood. It’s just that descendants of the lighter-skinned African tribes are more intelligent than the descendants of the darker-skinned tribes. Everybody knows that.
Garrett Morris: This is the first time I’ve heard of it.
Julian Bond: Seriously? It was proven a long time ago.
Garrett Morris: Well, I still don’t quite understand. We’re out of time right now, but perhaps you could come back on the show again and explain it further.
Julian Bond: There’s very little to explain - it’s just like I told you.
Garrett Morris: Well, we are out of time. Good night. [ to Julian ] If you could repeat it just once more...
My guess is the teacher was white, and this test is his opus.
Raul want to make a 20 percent profit. That means that he will need to bring in $48,000 in revenue (i.e. cost times 1.2). With 16 ounces in a pound, Raul needs to sell each bag for $3,000 (48,000 divided by 16).
Hood curriculum:
Ghetto math
Ebonics
Rap 1000
Afrocentric geography
Welfare Economics
You are correct if you assume Raul is selling only 16 1 oz bags. But Raul is cutting the product ("Raul wants to cut the pound of cocaine"). Then he will have more than 16 bags to sell. We would need to know how much he is diluting and how much he sells each bag for to give a correct answer.
The question is done very poorly and is not answerable.
Did you get a D or F on the quiz?
