This is depressing. I'm not sure what the case is in Europe, but in the US, 99% of elementary teachers are retarded sluts with no marketable skills and no talent, so they went to college because they "love kids" and want to teach.
I've fucked about 4-6 stupid sluts on campus at parties, black out drunk, who have told me they were education majors. They're too fucking stupid to learn anything more complicated than algebra or "hurr in 1776 the US was born and in 1861 there was a big war" so they just fuck and suck their way through 4 years to get a piece of paper that says they're qualified to teach 8 year olds that 2+2=4.
If you see a female teacher who teaches any grade lower than 9th in the US, and she's under 35, there is a 99.999% chance she is a stupid whore who is dumber than a box of rocks and has no problem filling your child's head with nonsense and wasting 20% of class time talking about her day and complaining about how her new boyfriend dumped her so all her students can bloat her ego by telling her she's pretty and the bestest person in the whole wide world and make her feel better about the fact that she doesn't have any children of her own because she wasted the best years of her life being a worthless cumdumpster passed around from guy to guy instead of staying faithful to the one guy who actually gave a shit about her I hope you're happy Sarah you filthy fucking whore

Don't get upset bro. Just wait for the day of rope and all will be well.
>>68608100
Dat picture tho. There has to be a context for this where the entire test is about trick questions or being creative with math.
This isn't even about being dumb, that test straight up fucks with the kids. It can be traumatising to some kids trying to be honest and fair.
fix your education system dummies
maybe try building a wall to keep all the rapists away so they stop raping your teachers and then your education will surely get better

"making 10s" is one of the techniques employed in early math instruction to teach students how to comprehend two-digit numbers.
to someone who is just learning, 8+5 (which in their minds are just symbols, not abstract concepts) does not intuitively equal 13, the student must first comprehend place value. a kid can see that 5 has a 2 in it, add that 2 to 8 and you make a 10. You then have 3 left over, and 10 + 3 is 13.
it's just a way to teach basic addition. it might look weird to us but we probably did some variation of it while we were in school and just beginning to learn addition
>>68609167
now this is just ridiculous
>>68609167
Fucking lol
>>68609240
>"making 10s"
They're called "friendly numbers" now
>>68608899
>There has to be a context for this where the entire test is about trick questions or being creative with math.
The way math addition/subtraction works in common core is that you first want to make a multiple of 10
The question isn't saying 8 + 5 = 10, it's asking how you would do that first step.
>>68609240
Fug, i knew america was regressing. Here the teachers are pretty good, they are mostly single, not very exciting women, but damn are they good at their jobs, the kids love em. Oin grade 1 here the kids get aquainted with basic afdition and substraction. In grade 2 they learn tens and the table of multiplication and learn division. In grade 3 and 4 they learn to add and substract in thousands and can perform.the basic functions like 100+264/2+93-55+9*5
>>68609240
>>68609362
This has to be an american thing. When I was at that level of math education the math tests didn't complicate things anywhere near that much. We were just taught the basics and we were given simple equations to solve.
What you guys are describing is a technique where the test requires the student to think in a very specific, abstract way to even comprehend the test. In our education system the students were given more freedom in the way they got to the final conclusion. We could even count on our fingers, if that helped. The teacher discouraged it, but didn't prevent it.
Teaching very basic mathematics with such abstract thinking doesn't seem right. I'm starting to change my mind on this and agree with OP. It has to be some dumb whore cunt in a power position not comprehending that kids can have different way of thinking. Actively trying to destroy that reeks of ignorance. Even fascist-like cramschool systems in asia allow more creativity. No wonder minorities do poorly in your school system.

it really depends on the state and county. there are plenty of teachers that encourage alternative ways of approaching problems - "making 10s" is just one technique out of several. good teachers recognize what works for each student and tailor their teaching methods to encourage progress for each individual student.
unfortunately due to budgeting shortfalls and inefficiencies in how education is organized at the federal and state level, there are a lot of conditions in place that push intelligent teachers away while simultaneously bringing in lower quality teachers to fill in gaps in staffing. quality of education can vary widely in the states, which is why so many parents are pretty particular about where they send their kids.
Education in the States does need reform, but it needs to start with staffing problems and student allocation first before tackling curriculum. Standards for teachers need to be higher, and subsequently payment and benefits should be better as well. Money also needs to be allocated intelligently, purchasing functional books and equipment instead of blowing cash on flashy computers and eboards.
Another major issue is the immense amount of time and resources wasted trying to integrate mentally handicapped or behaviorally disordered students with the rest of the class. A class of 30 students can be severely hampered by the presence of just one student with severe behavioral problems, and the time teachers waste trying to get them to work and pay attention is time taken away from all the other students.
it would be better for everyone if these students were placed in their own separate facilities suited to their needs, but due to federal mandates schools are required to provide instruction to even the most fucked up kids. This is why many kids get prescribed ADHD medication - or other meds - just so they can get through the school day without causing too great a disruption. What they need instead are separate schools
This is too funny.

>>68611120
I didn't explain it well, but my point was supposed to be that your system discourages different ways of thinking on an individual level. Even if it's an all white class, a good chunk of kids would still struggle to get used to this conveluded way of problem solving, because people tend to have different personalities.
Minorities often have different languages and cultures forming their early identity and thinking structures, so I'd imaging that an education system that's trying to be as PC as it can would be making an effort to help them catching up, but in reality they came up with something that makes them slack behind even more. And the fucked up part is that the classic system (which in Europe we call 'prussian') is doing a better job than the new hippy horeshit. It might not be perfect, but it's still better.
But at the end of the day I too consider minorities clinically retarded, and this system is making things significantly worse for them. Differences aren't the only issue with them. They really are just dumber.
>>68611276
Yeah, organising this shit on a scale as big as your union is pretty tough. Good luck with that!
>>68611622
a proper education program matches itself to the needs of students. if you'd already mastered those problems while the other kids were struggling, then you should've been in an accelerated math group with other similarly talented students and allowed to progress.
the limiter here is the talent and attention of the teaching staff, which is already overburdened dealing with kids who have learning disabilities or behavior problems. Or you have teachers who just don't care or slipped into the system because of lax standards, and lack either the education or the acumen to identify the abilities of their own students. These are the ones likely to recommend medication because they have no other recourse. in some cases it's warranted, but in many cases it is definitely not and you end up with situations like yours where you were not served well by the system.
on the teaching end, you can imagine the frustration many teachers have in trying to convince parents that their kids do have legitimate behavioral problems that impede not only their own learning but that of everyone around them. parents will often be totally oblivious or in denial, even as their kid deliberately disrupts classes, bullies other students, or otherwise engages in harmful behaviors.
teachers can do all they can short of recommending a transfer to a private school - if they admit that the school cannot serve their kid because of their learning disabilities or behavior problems, the school is obligated by law to pay for their private tuition elsewhere.
increase standards for teachers and segregate low-achieving and high-achieving students, and many of these problems would disappear

Yeah, no yeah, i totally am just a lying retard because i wasnt automatically placed in higher math classes for being so amazingly good at doing shit like 5+8=? when i was 7 years old
You people are all fucking idiots, for fucks sake, half the reason i slacked off was because i was put into classes with kids who were all way fucking older and bigger than i was and i wanted to be held back, but i was a fucking little kid and didnt articulate that so i guess i was just a little retard who should get drugged and we should all waste our time catering to clinically retarded niggers who wont amount to anything

the blame is on the teachers for failing to recognize what should work for you
Anyone who is good at teaching math is teaching math in a University. The problem with math curriculums in high schools and lower is that even the teachers don't fully understand the material so they're reliant on cheat sheets and printouts to give to the students.
They should cut the fat, teach the basics and the necessities in mandatory education, and leave the complicated stuff to teachers who actually understand it in higher education. A primary school kid does not need to be learning Pythagoras, and having them taught it by a dumb cunt 20-something who doesn't understand it herself does far more harm than good.

>>68613156
The attrition rate for new teachers is almost 50%. Salaries and benefits are dropping around the country. Simply put: no one really wants to be a teacher anymore. And so many of the new teachers entering the system are ones who really shouldn't be there.
Increasing standards for teachers will increase the quality of teaching overall. Right now in many states you have teachers in the system who don't actually have the right certifications, and they are allowed in simply because the system desperately needs staff. That needs to change. Teachers need to be professional and held to high standards of education, and their compensation should reflect that. You aren't going to attract talent to a highly demanding profession unless there are incentives in place. Weed out the shit teachers and bring in the good ones that do deserve a decent salary. And then loosen the curriculum standards so that teachers aren't bound by Common Core and have more local freedom in how they choose to implement the curriculum. Creativity is largely dead in public education, and this is repellent to the kind of intellectual we want teaching our students

>it's just a way to teach basic addition. it might look weird to us but we probably did some variation of it while we were in school and just beginning to learn addition
No, we actually were taught to figure the shit out and get it exact. A wrong number was a wrong number, and your scores reflected your ability to figure it out. Sink or swim, fucker.
This is why I never advanced past maths for 13 year olds. By that time I thought everything was a trick question or refused to learn anything because they'd change it next week anyway. Sad.
>>68614158
To be fair, using that methodology you'd still end up with the correct answer.
>maths
>>68613931
No one looks at 8+5 at first and surmises immediately that it equals 13, in the same way that you didn't immediately know how to form words from the alphabet when you first started learning English. For some the leap to understanding place value is very easy, while for others it's more difficult. At some point everyone realizes that single digits come together to make a ten, and what's left over is added on top of it.
Every time you've "carried a one", you've made a ten, whether you want to call it that or not. It's easy to look back now and scoff, but there was a point in your education where you did not have the intuitive number sense that you do now
>>68609167

>>68608100
It's a good system, it just can't be conveyed through english in a manner that kids can learn. So, it shouldn't be tried, in english.
The question intends to have the kid simplify to the next whole value with 8 and 5, then add the remainder.
It's almost impossible to articulate the point in the process, where you have a value of 10, in english, and at a 2nd grade level.
The problem, is that it takes an english speaker couldn't articulate the mechanism, by the time it's a necessity.

>>68614158
My kid bro studying to be a teacher has a math course like that.
It took some time two wrap my head around this roundabout and superfluous way of teaching it, since we'd never done anything of the sort on paper as kids.
Still, though, in a way it makes sense. This is math for those who struggle with adding 13 and 88 without penning it down. It's a (hopeless and pointless) effort to teach math to people who are going to struggle with basic finances otherwise.
In other words, dumbing down the course material in the hopes that even the most backwards kid can comprehend it and get to a math level that will see him through his day to day. It certainly does not inspire or require genius.
>>68613915
It's only going to get worse and the pay will get lower. My mother is a substitute teacher in the Washington DC area, where they are importing a lot of teachers from the Philippines, Central America and India. It's very similar in both purpose and effect to the H1B visa in the technology industry. The schools save money, quality goes down even further and if they do actually hire a new American, it's some kind of assistant who gets paid even less than the foreign teacher to fix her mistakes. For the most part though, they don't care if the kids don't learn a thing so they don't often bother hiring any kind of assistant.
>>68614368
>Every time you've "carried a one", you've made a ten, whether you want to call it that or not. It's easy to look back now and scoff, but there was a point in your education where you did not have the intuitive number sense that you do now
That's wrong - for the simple reason that it wasn't always that way.
When I learned to carry a number, the explanation was very clearly given by the teacher, along with detail about how we could continue adding numbers. The entire session was devoted to how to do a carry properly; and only after everyone had practiced this, would we turn to "big numbers" (i.e. 20s, 30s, 40s, etc.) It was fun, trying to figure out how many digits we could work. Most kids could easily work out to 100 when they were shown how to get to 10, but some would make it to 1000, and others still would get a gentle nudge from parents or older siblings regarding millions or larger.
It's not always the teacher's fault. There are instances where they are "given" the material to work with, and they do the best they can within that framework.
Common Core is nothing more than a way to rob our kids of a real understanding, by simply lowering the teaching process to the absolute lowest common denominator.

>In other words, dumbing down the course material in the hopes that even the most backwards kid can comprehend it and get to a math level that will see him through his day to day. It certainly does not inspire or require genius.
This is why the coursework fails. Instead of getting the kid into an IEP and getting the school onboard, we lump them into the shallow end of the pool where they don't need to swim. And in the process, lump all the other students as well, including those that can swim at the 5' mark just fine, along with some Olympic-level swimmers that can do laps all day. So everyone stands around in the kiddie pool at just 1 1/2' wearing an inflatable tube or carrying a noodle.
Common Core may work for those kids that need the help, but it is forcing all kids to be "those kids". We need MORE IEP solutions, not less. And as we cut funding, and/or have the administrative staff "absorb" funds, this will become a bigger and bigger problem.
>>68609336

You were lucky. I could do problems in my head, but I had teachers who would not even give you partial credit if you didn't show your work. I loved math until about grade 6 which was when I started encountering these cunts looking for someone to shit on, but after, they just made it tedious and they never really taught anything, so my advancement in math stagnated until very recently.
The person teaching the student made a subtle error in explaining limits too.

>"repeated addition strategy"? WHAT? Multiplication is ALWAYS repeated addition.
Exactly. The entire concept that multiplication is a form of extended addition becomes clear as you approach algebra, and concepts that had their frameworks initially laid years ago come into focus.
Schools used to teach this way, they would start with all the basic components (number theory, addition/subtraction, memorization of multiplication tables) from grade school, and use the resulting foundation to "build" into other areas (pre-algebra, home finance, business classes), gradually incorporating all the ideas. It didn't matter if you didn't make the cut for algebra (see my comment about home finances) it only mattered that you could have the minimum grasp needed to manage your finances.
I suppose they don't teach how to fill out tax returns, or balance checkbooks anymore. After all, a computer does that...not like they would *ever* need to do it in pen or something.

I know what binary is, along with octal and hex. Doesn't matter. What matters is most kids have a built-in abacus called their fingers. It doesn't cost the school much, comes pre-equipped with the student (no "I forgot my fingers at home" speech), and goes hand-in-hand (no pun intended) with fine motor skill development, something else that isn't encouraged.
You can count in binary for fun if you like, and you can certainly go ahead and use all 10 fingers to do numbers up to 1024 if you like as well; but most kids are going to start off with something a bit more familiar.

one problem is that teachers can suggest IEPs, but they can't be implemented unless the parents sign off on them. the parent has to admit that the child needs an IEP and agree to it, and many of them just won't do it. at which point the teachers' hands are tied

Common Core an extension of the publishing racket you see with college textbooks. Most public schools, being horrifically underfunded, rely on the ability to teach out of the same textbooks every year. That isn't profitable for publishers, so they created new textbooks for a new curriculum and got Obama to shove said curriculum down educators' throats. Thus the old textbooks need to be replaced with shiny new ones, and the publishers get shekels.
There are other economic and political forces at work (pic related) but that's the big one.

Guess what, you don't need to use base 10 to count with your hands. You're just too stuck in your frame of thinking to appreciate or even consider another way of doing something.
Common core is teaching students to think differently, and more abstractly, about mathematics. You could argue that it's not as "fast", but learning mathematics shouldn't be about finding the "fastest" route. It should be about understanding the concepts deeply. There are a lot of people who literally break down and cry when asked about math during job interviews (http://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2014/03/5-year-olds-can-learn-calculus/284124/).
A lot of common core just utilizes set theory and tries to get students to understand the logic behind solving question rather than the rote memorization of solving questions.
Maybe the implementation of these new standards aren't the best, but the general idea behind the standards, I believe, are important to understand.

>>68609240
fuck off common core. this is not mathematics. this is meant to destroy ones ability to reason. a philosopher knows that you can teach a person mathematics without even using numbers up until geometry. this is because math is all logic based. this common core shit, is not, and therefore is doing nothing but destroying the minds of children...but that's the point isn't it? much easier to maintain a socialist/welfare state when all the subjects are unable to be logical or solve complex problems.

Dunno how I would describe it then. I see the pictures in this thread and it seems like they're trying to teach shitty version of mental shortcuts I used since I was a kid.
But I came up with shortcuts on my own, and I had a better understanding of the base before relying on those shortcuts. This seems like a really bad way of doing things.

I think I see what they are trying to accomplish with the math question in the pic. Being able to manipulate numbers algebraically will help in higher level math. Examples of this is "completing the square". In fact, many calculus based concepts and proofs rely on the idea of adding 0 or multiplying by 1 to change the algebraic makeup of an equation, formula, function, etc.

But people have biases in favor of their predetermined way of thinking.

common core adds a bunch of steps that basically stops smart kids from getting ahead of the pack by punishing them for using shortcuts. rather than there only being 1 right answer, common core says that there is only 1 right way to do the problem. common core is a nightmarish exercise in equality over merit, they should have common core and normal maths but they don't and i blame the teachers for that. to be honest, common core is probably a thing because the teachers are borderline retarded.
>>68617191
No, I mean you could teach fundamental principles without ever touching numbers. This is actually what happens in pre-school and elementary school when you begin introducing shapes to children.
Also, >One would have to figure out how to represent angles with letters then.

This thread makes me sad.
And I get even sadder when I remember that here in Brazil, public school teachers basically can't fail students anymore because it will hurt their feelings and give them emotional scars.
>>68617518
Yeah they should teach both and not punish them for doing things a different way. They should just encourage freedom and play when it comes to math and accept when students come to the right conclusion as long as they are able to explain their reasoning.
>>68608100
How does that shit work?
8+2=10 then add 3 it's 13
>>68617000
the philosophy behind common core mathematics is to help students who rely overmuch on memorization to unlearn those habits, and develop reasoning skills. however in practice this often ends up not working as intended, as you get low quality teachers who autistically teach only with the curriculum materials they're given and never adapt or modify their methods to meet the needs of their students.
There is nothing inherently wrong with teaching a student to make tens, if the student has a hard time grasping the continuity of numbers and insists on viewing equations as pictograms to be memorized. It's just one technique in a teacher's arsenal, allowing them to reach students who have a poorly developed number sense and help them understand why it's a mistake to just memorize results instead of learning the process involved in getting them.
Prior to this, you'd have intelligent teachers who could effectively convey mathematical concepts to students with a wide range of ability levels, and then teachers who just couldn't. And students would fall through the cracks as a result. thanks to Common Core, pretty much any idiot can teach to the curriculum (though some teachers struggle to do even that) and have their students meet the state-defined benchmarks.
The problem is that Common Core doesn't solve the issue of bad teachers and incompetent staff, it's simply a bandaid that sort of works while dragging down the overall quality of education for everyone. The program is just as much a dumbing-down for teachers as it is for students. The philosophy is sound but it doesn't solve the problems from the bottom end, which comes from staffing issues due to teacher attrition, misuse of funds, and low standards.

This will never get solved until public unions are busted. As it is a public school teacher pretty much can't be fired for anything short of molesting a student. Layoffs are on a strict seniority basis and there's a fat defined-benefit pension on the taxpayers' dime. It's the epitome of government jobs attracting people who're dumb as shit and good for nothing, and just want a paycheck that can't be taken away from them, even if they're incompetent. Friend of mine went to Chicago Public Schools, and had a teacher who would literally hand out a worksheet at the start of class and then sleep at his desk the rest of the period. He knew they couldn't fire him. If they tried it'd take three years, since the union automatically files a grievance when anyone is threatened with termination, and they can drag it out forever.
You'll never recruit better teachers, or educate kids decently, until you break the unions' back for good.

You act like it's the teachers that set educational standards.
Our teachers are better protected than yours. Their job is for life short of a felony. No firing, ever. And yet the differences between states are massive, and they stem from politics, from approaches handed down to teachers.
Don't doctor around on the powerless bottom layer. Yes, there's bad teachers, maybe sorting them out could improve things a bit, but then politicians throw a fit, and every teacher is mandated to suck. Guess what: This creates bad teachers, it burns out the good ones.
The problem isn't teachers, it's politicians.

Math is naturally unintuivie, but CC tries to homogenize shortcuts for everyone. The way I think of multiplying by 5 is by multiplying by 10 then dividing by 2. You probably have a different way, CC tells you there's only one contrived way (created so the most inept can understand). It's shitty but its effects are exaggerated. Once you get into higher math you'll use a scientific calculator for computations. Past that you probably won't even be doing arithmetic that often either.

Schools are required to have a certain percentage of students pass a standardized test. The required percentage increases every year until it gets to 100%.
The feds left it up to the states to set the tests. The states just made the tests easier every year so that a larger percentage would pass.
It's pointless. The problem is so much class time is wasted teaching to the tests.
Also, it required that more teachers had to have advanced degrees, which is causing the cost of education to taxpayers to explode.
Common Core is worse, though. It's comparable to the disastrous "whole word" learning that they tried on inner cities decades ago.

I graduated high school in 1996 and, even though they gave us TI-81's, they wouldn't let us use them for pretty much anything. I had trig and precalc, which was the equivalent of college level calc 1, and since we finished early, we started calc 2. Almost everything had to be done by hand.

>>68618164
That's one way of looking at it, but some people might interpret 5x3 as being "five multiplied three times". When I first learned multiplication, it was often spoken like "[first number] multiplied by [second number]", which means the kid was right. I can see though where others might interpret it as something more like "five sets of three". There's nothing on the paper that clarifies it.
The second one I think really shows the teacher is just an idiot. On that one, I'm looking for some situation where the teacher is right, but everything I know says not. Screen resolutions are always horizontal first, vertical last, and when printing a two dimensional array in a computer program, the inner loop prints the horizontal then turns back to the outer loop to go down one row and print out the next horizontal line.

90% of school expenses go towards salaries and benefits. Some of that is administration and staff, like janitors and secretaries, but the overwhelming majority is teachers.
This was from my old town from 2010. Look how many teachers have 6th year and Masters degrees compared to the standard 4 year Bachelors degrees. That's because the law pushes them into it, now. And they get a big bump in salary when they get there.

single math took literally minutes with her, like just adding, she used to fuck up invoices and I used to simply take a calculator and some scrap paper and find her errors and STFU and hand them to the treasurer
we used to have a pool of kids of each age divison and a finite amount of time slots, so each divison had X kids Y time slots and thus Z teams
she would do the math ass backwards, she would try to "guesstimate" the amount of teams, instead of dividing the amount of kids by the preferred number of kids per team then putting the remaining kids on teams so the time slots were properly filled to be scheduled later
like, why wouldn't she just divide the kids by how many she wants on a team and get a real number of how many teams there will be and then start to "guesstimate" and bugger around with actual hard numbers?
no idea, she had shitty tattoos, and a giant scar on her wrist from where she probably tried to kill herself, at least one time she had the right idea

OK, I see where you're going.
It varies by state, but roughly 50% of school budgets are locally funded and 45% comes from the state. Only about 5% comes from the federal government.
Schools are by far the largest expense of local government - around 70%.
If we're talking about combined federal, state, and local, primary and secondary education costs are around $600 Billion out of $5.2 Trillion.
So if 90% of that $600 Billion is salaries and benefits, then yes, we're talking about 10% of overall taxes.
We had a fresh out of Uni primary school teacher move in with us in our house share in london.
She seemed pretty chill to start with. As the months have passed it's become pretty obvious that not only is she totally off her rocker she's also thick as two short planks.
I mean just really painfully dumb. Ditzy doesn't even begin to cover it. It pains me to know that she's probably in class just blithering at these poor 8 year old kids filling their heads with all kinds of parroted feminist bullshit.
What's worse is she's smoking hot.

It was only one time in religion class (teacher was arab :D but not muslim D:) when we had this kind of assignment to do.
We were supposed to write about Abraham's walk in the desert with his son, but in a different way. Either facebook, instagram or whatever.. stupid it was at least.

Whats with this math? It serves no purpose except maybe slowing down smarter kids by punishing them for figuring things out on their own.

>which in their minds are just symbols not abstract concepts
wat? ... So are fucking letters... and words. If the kid shows they understand this then why fuck with their head?

It's fake. I'm sure there's dumb teachers out there but this is tumblr tier shit.

i know exactly how they came up with this bullshit too. they literally found some smart kids and figured out how they did math, then decided "let's teach all kids the method that the smart kids use".
the problem with that is that the smart kids didn't LEARN math with those methods - they learned it long form, then once they had a solid grasp of it, the smart kids learned to quickly do math by using these shortcuts.
BUT IF YOU JUST TEACH THE KIDS THE FUCKING SHORTCUT WITHOUT GIVING THEM THE FOUNDATIONAL MATH FIRST, THEY WON'T UNDERSTAND SHIT.
sending your kids to public school is fucking child abuse.

Whats wrong with this one though, apart from the trigger headline?

If limit is written a infinity or negative infinity, the boundless behavior is already implied, the infinity just describes how the functions acts at x=8.

To me, this is just teaching kids a longer, unnecessary way to find the answer.
Why can't they just teach kids the order of operations? Instead of this shit which adds one or two extra steps

I had a retarded open ended question like this when I was 4 years old.
They asked me how to make 65 degree C water.
I drew a picture of me pouring a 50C beaker of water into a beaker of 15C water, and wrote that 50+15 is 65.
The teacher politely wrote that that wasn't the answer they were looking for and that it wasn't how temperature worked, but applauded me on my creativity and said my maths was correct.
That's what kids need. Not shit like this.
