Random Thread - Anything Goes

Thought this was a more appropriate thread to post this than in one of the other "serious" threads...

Everytime @JaredBusch mentions Bundy, I think it's in reference to Bundaberg Rum... Commonly referred to as Bundy... but it's not what us being referred to. Then I have a quick giggle and move on.

This reminds me of a StarGate SG1 episode where they put a math problem into a game to 'get help in solving it'.

There was also some Bruce Willis movie where the NSA put a code in a puzzle book, and if you broke it, it told you to call a phone number and they would then know the code is broken.

Crowd sourcing to gain access to resources not ordinarily available is probably an excellent idea.

I don't think that we should share this with her.

If you ship me a bottle, I will accept that as an apology for all your giggles.

A paper written by a friends little kid.

The Item she was writing about.

That's hilarious.

Did the teacher correct metal to medal?

RamblingBiped

@scottalanmiller That's what jumped out to me too... (aside from the more obvious humor...)

Another case of an elementary school student who is more educated than the teacher. This is becoming the norm, I feel.

And why are they writing by hand? Is this the 1980s?

I had a teacher in elementary school that could not tell time. Or could not tell the date, depending on how you looked at it. She wasn't sure how midnight and the change of days related and was sometimes off a day because she couldn't use clocks correctly.

Most schools feel type written districts from learning and technology is generally bad. we only had one teach in HS that allow typed work. In college it was even worse very very few did.

That's how I feel about hand writing. Makes kids focus on mechanical and muscle challenges and makes those that struggle with handwriting suffer in other areas. And it makes everything take so much longer and leave much less time for learning. It's really just a way that schools waste time to focus on things they understand (handwriting) and not have to spend so much time on things they don't (spelling, math, history, etc.)
