Middle School Logic

Last night I attended the open house for Son #2 at the middle school. No red flags, no cranky or flighty teachers. Two things really made me laugh:

1. Bumper sticker on the math classroom door.

4 OUT OF 3 PEOPLE HAVE TROUBLE WITH FRACTIONS

2. Description by the science teacher of the process of reviewing for exams, followed by the conclusion that the kids who don't do well on the tests must deliberately be missing multiple opportunities to get on board with the work. Parting shot:

"When we put the forms through the Scantron and we hear the 'machine gun' sound, we know they blew it."

Let's hope the teachers with the lighthearted perspectives can pass it on to our kids.
