Look...I get it. Math is boring. I mean, it can be very exciting if you happen to be Stephen Hawking trying to figure out the exact size of the universe but the only drawback to that of course is that you'd be Stephen Hawking.
Unfortunately, if you're a third grader, solving 56/7 probably isn't going to advance civilization all that much and really won't be met with much fanfare at all. So of course we need to get creative with these kids to make math fun. For example...
Johnnie collects pet rocks. He collected 56 rocks over 7 days. How many rocks did he collect per day?See? It's very engaging. Now, let's take a look at how they might engage students in the official state of the AofG...Suzie likes apples. If she eats 2 apples a day for 7 days, how many apples has she eaten.
"Each tree had 56 oranges. If eight slaves pick them equally, then how much would each slave pick?"Well...perhaps Frederick wouldn't get so many beatings if he would pick more than seven fucking oranges a day. Emmiright?"If Frederick got two beatings per day, how many beatings did he get in one week?"
Okay...let's hear from a concerned parent...
"This outrages me because it just lets me know that there's still racists," said Stephanie Jones, whose child is a student at the school.
There you have it. Someone could have lived in Georgia their entire life without ever having to know that there are still racists. The end of innocence is upon us.
