 I got reprimanded in 5th grade for listening to “What The Hell” by Avril Lavigne on my iPod while on the bus for a field trip. Wasn’t even playing it through the speaker; the teacher just saw it on the screen and had a problem with the word “hell”. She said I would thank her when I’m older. Well now I’m older and I still think Mrs. Melissa can go pound sand. 5 comments
Same lady who said fraction multiplication and long division by hand was a crucial life skill because “you won’t always have a calculator on you.” not only is that not true currently, it wasn’t even true at the time. we had casio watches. i always had my ipod touch on me. we had cell phones. i wish i could be that confidently wrong, it was honestly kind of a slay @samhenrigold And yet understanding how long division and multiplication by-hand are done is valuable in developing efficient computer code for performing calculations with incredibly large numbers as you have in cryptography. Your calculator won't be of any help nor are the calculator-dependent students.  sam henri gold, hah, I never realized that math teachers saying "you won't always have a calculator on you" is such a universal phenomenon. The one good thing about listening to music in English as a child was that no one, including myself, knew enough English to understand anything. |
