We once had a student-teacher assistant teach the class that more digits after the decimal meant a smaller number, always. 0.65 is less than 0.7, 0.5555 is less than 0.55, 0.9875 is less than 0.08, etc. How we lived through final exams is a mystery, though admittedly, I did ace that class.
Math was my best subject: it was logical and 2 + 2 always equaled 4. History, on the other hand, used to confuse me. It doesn’t anymore since I’ve lived long enough and it is beginning to repeat itself for me.
My son is in virtual 9th grade. I overheard him taking a math test. Every once in a while, the teacher would announce how much time was left. She says “About two minutes…” and a girl chimes in “I switched tabs and all my answers disappeared!” The teacher says “Oh, yeah, you can’t navigate away from the test of it will be erased. ONE minute…”
Senior year high school advanced math class: the teacher said no one ever had or ever could get a perfect 100 score on every test for that half of the year. Guess who did? Me! Score of 100 on every single test, quiz and the final. But I owe it to her teaching, she was by far the best teacher I ever had.

Can I get a medical exemption? I’m allergic to math.

All right, enough drama! You can’t be killed by a math exam. It can only leave you severely traumatized for life

I work in a place where everything is measured down to the .00001. I tell every one if it is more than 1+1 I have no idea how much it is!

For some reason I’m picturing Peter Sellers as Dr. Strangelove as the math teacher.

Having taught math before, there is a bit of drunkenness with the POWER of the dark side….

Although, a MWA-HA-HA might’ve made the teacher’s remark even creepier …
