Throwback to June 6, 2014

1. Other people’s children are just as demanding as my children.

2. The volume of a cone is 1/3 times height times area of the circle at the base.

3. The word “hypotenuse” inspires wise cracks about being high on pot. And inappropriate cracks about putting necks in a noose.

4. I enjoy offering individual help to students.

5. I do not enjoy students who continually try to get my attention by saying my name over and over again.

6. Students who say they need their earbuds to listen to a math video are actually listening to music off their playlists.

7. Catapults made from Popsicle sticks need incredible amounts of tape in order to stay intact.

8. When you tell a student you will phone the school nurse for a house call, versus letting the student leave class to go to the nurse’s clinic, the student will scowl at you for half an hour.

9. Almost nobody wants school to still be in session in June. Not students. Not teachers. Maybe just the parents.

10. Teachers are under-paid.
