A question on my fifth grader’s math worksheet.
The Jones family ate dinner out last Sunday. The bill was $25.50. Mr. Jones left a 50% tip. Do you think this is too much? Explain your answer,
His complete answer.
I honestly don’t care how much he paid.
Precisely.
H/T to John Venlet
Um...but no one expects the students to figure out how much that 50% tip was in dollars? All that matters is how the kids FEEL about it (since they're not learning enough to be capable of thinking)?
ReplyDeleteOy vey.
A fine answer. Another fitting response to this progressive, PC question could have been:

I saw the original post at Jaded Haven yesterday, and all I had to say was "hell yeah".
