Default Re: My thoughts of the day...

My math teacher is SO stupid! She does not know how to do median.

The other day, we're going over questions for an exam that was this morning. The question is "What is the median of 5, 6, 8, 12, and 5". The answer is 6. The teacher says it's 8. We point to her and show her in the back of the book that the answer is 6. To which she says "the book is wrong"


She is changing the answers to basic math. For example, is anyone familiar with the order of operations "please excuse my dear aunt sally" (paren., exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction). She doesn't do that. For an equation, she just goes left to right. I got a question wrong on a previous test because of that.

And meanwhile, she says that she's been teaching for 40 years.
