'How high are you in 3 hours?:' Ill. teacher apologizes for drug-related math problem

The lesson taught at Roxana Senior High School Wednesday was not typical. A teacher asked students how high they would be three hours after using cocaine and how much they would owe a dealer for a $1,000 payment paid at only 25 percent a day for a year. Teachers and students were shocked. Parent Christy Scott looked at a photo of the assignment which was sent to News 4. "Wow. That's a school math problem?" asked Scott. Student Joseph Saban was not in the class, but he's heard all about it. Saban said he is not offended... "Either he was trying to relate in some way with the kids, be funny or something like that," added Saban.

Appropriate or not, at least the students woke from their stupors and pulled their noses out of their phones to pay attention. They might accidently solved their first math problem all semester.

I guess the teacher was getting desperate trying to reach the “unreachable”. So much for trying to be relevant. This teacher should simply realize that “you can’t teach IQ” and become like all the other teachers — simply give his students social promotion grades.

Duane has an AK47 with a 30 round clip. If he misses 6 out of 10 shots and shoots 13 times at each drive by shooting, how many drive by shootings can he attempt before he has to reload?

Surprised they didn’t ask questions about trannies, gays, muzzies, or other non-natural entities.

DeQuan buys 2 kilos of pure coke for $20K per kilo. If he steps on it with 3.5 kilos of talcum and rat poison and sells each 8-ball for $150, how much profit will he make?

Bonus question: How much would his customers need to snort before the rat poison would kill them?

He was probably trying to create situations where obvious consequences proven by unarguable mathematics will show that a druggie is a loser, and a student even thinking about it will be helped to make the right decision.

Anyone who can't see this is as a teaching objective is him/herself a loser.

Yes, and with those skills, perhaps a job with the Waco police department.

On the flip side, how high was the teacher when he made up that math problem and what percentage of his salary did he spend on the drugs it took to get that high...
