Pluggers by Rick McKee for February 12, 2014

What is PRE-Algebra? That’s like pre – addition.

hey kid….multiply for more…divide to conquer…politicans know this only too well during budget season

You just gotta learn the crap. Only the paperwork is meaningful component for employment applications.

Guilty

Used to be that kids did not learn fractions until seventh grade. My kid was learning them this year in third grade.By the way, I’m old enough to be her grandma.

hey… convert every mathematical calculation to dollars and cents …then suddenly everyone becomes an actuary

You don’t have to be a a Plugger.

When I was 9 years old I think teachers were still saying “whole numbers”. They did use the term integer before I reached high school though. BTW, I was born in 1954.

By third grade, ain’t ya supposed to know your ‘gazintasand ’times tables?’(You know; if 2×6=12, then 2 gazinta 12 6 times.)

What the #*!! is an integer?

I just looked at the book, frown and put it aside and then say… “This is how we USED to do it.” When the kid came home with an “F” and a scowl, I’d say, “If you have any questions, I’ll be here, or you can ask your teacher in school before coming home.”
