Yes some Kids are really this dumb

This is a real answer from a 13 year old student of mine =/ I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Anu says I need to stop stressing it, and that someone has to make my Subway sandwhiches. I guess he is right. :-?



I am referring to number 1, he did get number 2 right! FYI this is my remedial class.

wow...how sad

However, I also get frightened by the'college' students who can't answer questions on 'Jay Walking'...easy questions...like who the vice president is...or where is our nation's capitol located?

My mom's a high school math teacher. She still gets kids who do stuff like that. ;) It doesn't necessarily get any better with age!

I never did understand the purpose of number lines.

the number lines give a visual representation of where numbers go

how they increase when moved to the right or reduce when moved to the left, helps with the concept of negative numbers
