'If Fred Got Two Beatings Per Day…' Homework Asks
Yahoo! ^ | January 7, 2012 | Olivia Katrandjian

Third graders in in Gwinnett County, Ga., were given math homework Wednesday that asked questions about slavery and beatings.

Christopher Braxton told ABC News affiliate WSB-TV in Atlanta that he couldn't believe the assignment his 8-year-old son brought home from of Beaver Ridge Elementary school in Norcross.

"It kind of blew me away," Braxton said. "Do you see what I see? Do you really see what I see? He's not answering this question."

The question read, "Each tree had 56 oranges. If eight slaves pick them equally, then how much would each slave pick?"

Another math problem read, "If Frederick got two beatings per day, how many beatings did he get in one week?"

It’s my understanding that if the snake from the time it hatched gets fed in a certain way, it will be fine with it, until it gets fed with something live, to which it will then demand live bait.

So, the smaller snake can still feed on the homeless, as long as you fed the snake homeless people parts, from the time they hatched.

“I had a red-tail male, about 5 1/2’. Never tried breeding him.”

Good thing.

They get pretty snippy about that.

;D

[sorry...you handed that one right off to me]

I love my Scottish heritage. I really want to visit that country some day. Although I hear Glasgow is not a good place to be at night.

Despite being on a rocky shoals and being oppressed by their British masters, Scotland basically invented the 20th century.

There’s the rub;

The first three feedings must be live food so you’d have to find some *really tiny* live homeless people.

On the fourth feeding, you could then switch over to miniscule deceased homeless people.

I’m not sure about “homeless people parts”, though.

Corn snakes will eat parts but Constrictors require whole food, dead or alive.

[Good lord...did this thread totally “Amtrak” or what?!?]

LOL

Very good, but you realize, of course, that at least 1/2 of these people named in the questions must be identified as homosexual.

For the children.

That’s incredible. According to the article it was a “cross over” assignment. The question about picking the fruit is barely passable, but the beatings per week? Come on.

What’s wrong with these people? Why are they so stupid?

That’s what happens when you get people of Scottish descent to discuss things. Anything can get discussed, the only thing that matters is the cost.

I dunno...I’ve heard that Glasgow after midnight can give you a lot to smile about.

[OMG...that’s too creepy even for me]

Scotland may have invented the 20th century but the Irish saved civilization.

Yes, the Irish did save civilization and we give our thanks every March 17th. But on March 18th, when we wake up, we pay.

Oh we pay! :)

400 years ago the Irish gave the Scots bagpipes. The Scots still haven’t gotten the joke.
