So, it looks like Lauren isn’t going to post anything today, so I’ll post a comic that I saw recently. This guy is really really really funny, but his references are geeky. About half of the comics are only really funny if you know something about one or more of Math, Physics and/or Computers. You have to mouse over his comics too. Sometimes the note is funnier than the comic (I think he got that from Brad).

And that’s why I love teaching math! 🙂 Heck, that’s why I loved learning math when I was a kid. I like knowing that something is either right or wrong.
However, I still have some of my students challenge me on controversial math facts like “zero to the zero power is equal to one” or “0.9 repeating is equal to one.” They love to argue about those things.
Brad says
Yeah, teaching Math is nice, except for all the grading…
And is that Math teacher reading?!? Math teachers don’t read, do they?
Lloyd says
I think that’s a flask.
Beth says
Heh.
Michele says
Yeah -- math teachers don’t need to read -- we need to drink! 🙂 As a matter of fact Mr. Smarty Pants Brad (I called you something worse under my breath), I read two whole pages from my new Mitch Albom book while I sitting at jury duty the other day. THEN, lucky for me, I met another teacher and we talked about math the rest of the time! We math people like to socialize you see.
Michele says
Poop 🙁 I meant “while I WAS sitting…” Don’t blame that on being a math teacher. Blame it on too much work this holiday weekend!
Lauren says
And who has a comfy chair to sit in? What is a lounge anyway? Another fiction you upper-grade teachers perpetuate?
