My sister sent me this.
Last week I purchased a burger at Burger King for $1.58. The counter girl took my $ 2 and I was digging for my change when I pulled 8 cents from my pocket and gave it to her. She stood there, holding the nickel and 3 pennies, while looking at the screen on her register. I sensed her discomfort and tried to tell her to just give me two quarters , but she hailed the manager for help. While he tried to explain the transaction to her, she stood there and cried. Why do I tell you this? Because of the evolution in teaching math since the 1950s:
1. Teaching Math In 1950s
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit ?
2. Teaching Math In 1960s
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?
3. Teaching Math In 1970s
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80. Did he make a profit?
4. Teaching Math In 1980s
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20.
5. Teaching Math In 1990s
A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers, and if you feel like crying, it's ok.)
6. Teaching Math In 2009
Un hachero vende una carretada de maderapara $100. El costo de la producciones es $80. Cuanto dinero ha hecho?
UPDATE: I got the new curriculum from the White House website.
Teaching math in 2010
You done got yo-self ten crack rocks. A crackhead holds you up at gun point and ganks 6 of them mo-fuckas. How many times should you cap his ass when his homies snitch on him?

Sad, but true!
So so true.
2010:
I have a truckload of wood. I must give it all to the state. It is apportioned out to my illegal alien neighbors. In return, the Mother State allows me to have a bowl of thin gruel before going back to my job cutting more wood.
Spacibo, Komrade Barack.
Deadman-
BWAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA! Well, I guess it's not that funny because it sounds about right...
Deadman, you forgot the shot of victory gin that goes along with the gruel.
KC - Gin or vodka? Wictory wodka?
CD - I have serious concerns about it sounding right...
August, I have serious concerns about that shit too. Angry concerns to be matter of fact about it...
It just "sounds about right" as in Deadman hit the nail on the head with his truckload of wood and the gummint bending him over...
NottaGotDamThing coming out of this bullshit administration sounds right or is right.
2015: When the effects of Global Cooling hits the land, self-appointed President for life Obama sends permission to deliver 80$ worth of lumber to Austin, Texas. Subjects are told it has to last them for a year.
Subjects sing songs about the time when they could make a profit to keep themselves warm.
I got a similar list in my email, but without the BK story and the update from the Whore House. Thanks!
August, read 1984.
