Math Education over the years...
First you laugh,,,and then the Reality sets in.
Fifty Years of Math 1957 - 2007
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 2007
Un hachero vende una carretada de maderapara $100. El costo de la producciones es $80. Cuanto dinero ha hecho?

The joke might be funny if it actually made light of the actual problem (and the problem is real). You might be able to recognize deficient math skills but please don't try and submit scripts for TV sitcoms; keep your day job.

Yeah, I know, whenever, I'm in Math class, there are several dumb girls (note: the majority of them are girls), who don't get Math at all, and it's fun to laugh at them.
In World Geo, there's a kid named Dylan, and when our teacher said the phrase "in the British Empire, the Sun never sets", he was like "hold on, the World is too big for an island ain't it?" he asked the teacher, everyone laughed.

You forgot to mention students get a passing grade, now, just for showing up. Participation in class is not required.
