"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!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteSo 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.
