"So I'm covering adding and subtracting polynomials, right? It's hard because a lot of these kids just aren't getting how to combine the like terms, not realizing that a negative number and doing the subtraction is essentially the same thing.
"Then one of the kids, this guy who's usually a handful, pipes in to say that adding x squared is like 'homo math.' Huh?"
"Yeah, he says, because keeping x squared together is like the boys staying with the boys, and only adding x to x is like the girls being with girls."
"Kinda tell you what's going on in the back of his head," I say.
"Hey," she laughs. "Whatever helps 'em remember."

Hello and thank you for your generous and deliciously devilish blogging!
I think it may have escaped your attention that the graphic for this post appears (to me at least) to be anti-gay-marriage propaganda. I.e. 2 + 3 does not equal 4, 7 + 4 does not equal 8, etc., thus woman + woman does not equal marriage.
I've gathered from your writing that your are entirely gay-positive, so I thought I should point this out.
The math story, on the other hand, is a gem!
Thank you again : )
*headdesk* You know, as a Top, it isn't often that I get to say things like, "I stand corrected." You're right.
So that'll be a lesson to me to not post when I'm rushing out the door.
See above. And thanks for both your correction and kind remarks. Chime in anytime.
