Ayshela Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 (edited) Earlier on in the year my daughter's freshman class math teacher gave a quiz on classroom procedures and expectations.

Aardvark Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 Tardies? Down here, tard is one of those stupid insults that mean nothing
Ayshela Posted October 10, 2003 Author Report Posted October 10, 2003 tardies - plural of tardy - being late to class
Tamaranis Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 One of my highschool math teachers told me that math is such a dry subject that if math teachers don't have a good sense of humor they go insane...
Rune Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 hehe, this is great. All my math teachers in high school were always "to the point" with no silliness about them. Made for some rough trig sessions.
Aardvark Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 A few years after I finished, I got word that my maths teacher had been comitted
Lady Celes Crusader Posted October 11, 2003 Report Posted October 11, 2003 I do recall that in the first yeat in high school, we had some sort of Classroom expectations similar to what your daughter is having. But, it wasn't enforced at all for the remining 4 years. Talk about waisted time investment.
