My 9th grade son just told me a funny about his geometry teacher who used to be a bouncer.
On the first day of school, he told the class to get out their new math books and “put those effing POS’s in the cardboard box.”
He then distributed the older math books that actually had real math and real instructions for doing it.
He is one of my son’s favorite teachers but his language is a bit uh-colorful.
I’m okay with it if he’s teaching the boy real math though.
A wonderful story! Effing POS’s is poetry next to the blather normally emanating from public schools.
Please have this teacher put his experiences on FreeRepublic. He can say he’s in Florida. (Or have him get in touch with me at Improve-Education.org and I’ll write up his ideas.)
