Who can tell me "What is 2+2 ?" ( Archived) (27)

Part of a Maths Equasion

Yeah I watched the vid Hex.
Exactly why I was so happy to retire from teaching last year....

But actually I have a different answer to 2+2.

It is actually ‘bingo speak’ and it means ‘ two little ducks’...

8+8



KRIST!!

Geeez....how come she doesn’t topple over the balcony!?

Guess we better include 6+9 also?

Oi you ... how did you get hold of that pic of my gal friend Melonie !!!!

I gave it up years ago ... I was teaching in tech college (trade school)

1) One Monday I was 'spoken to' and informed that I was not allowed to exert discipline by putting a disruptive asshat out of the class !

" Why not " says I

"Well, if he tells his employer he was put out ie denied an education, then his employer will not send him here next term and we lose a fee?" says the head of dept

"Really" says I

"Yes Really ..."

"Gotcha " say I

"Good " sez he "I knew you'd understand

"Yes of course ... it's just that IF I'M not allowed reasonable tools to maintain classroom discipline THEN YOU can expect 27 letters of complaint because I;m going back after lunch and telling the rest of the class to tell their employers that they are all being denied an education because you won't allow me to deal with one disruptive asshat"

HoD turned a peculiar colour, made gasping choking noises, staggered back to his office and wasn't seen for the rest of the week!

2) Spoken to again after failing an entire evening class group, bar one, for presenting woefully inadequate work related to a professional management body exam ...
" What you've failed to grasp Hex is that the essence of your job is NOT to be critical of the work those people present but rather your place is to justify how the work they produce meets the course requirements ..." sez my mate the HoD
"I'd struggle with justifying how less than 1,000 words can possibly even begin to justify the requirements of a paer that demands 5000 min to 5500 max" sez me with a pained expression (already knowing what was coming as I'd been tipped off before going in to see him!
"Oh, well, perhaps you could praise the student for his excellent command of the subject, his precise language and his economy of words..." sez HoD looking as proud as Punch.
" I see ..." and he interrupted me
" Yes, I knew you would Hex ... is there anything else we need to discuss here ?" HoD
"Two things if I may ... the first is that as a Fellow of the Institute I'm not going to be responsible for conspiring with you, or in any other way contribute to a decline of the professional standing of the Institute and second, you can have my resignation ... I've had a bellyful of you n your cr*p... "

Typical Ozzie bloke ... jumps to a conclusion which he expects to the right one without considering 99% of the material the question was based upon !
