Saint Keith Posted 10 February, 2009 Share Posted 10 February, 2009 1. Teaching Maths In 1970 A logger sells a lorry load of timber for £1000. His cost of production is 4/5 of the selling price. What is his profit? 2. Teaching Maths In 1980 A logger sells a lorry load of timber for £1000. His cost of production is 4/5 of the selling price (£800). What is his profit? 3. Teaching Maths In 1990 A logger sells a lorry load of timber for £1000. His cost of production is £800. Did he make a profit?! 4. Teaching Maths In 2000 > A logger sells a lorry load of timber for £1000. His cost of production is £800 and his profit is £200. Your assignment: Underline the number 200. 5. Teaching Maths In 2008 A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is totally 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 £200. 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. If you are upset about the plight of the animals in question counselling will be available) 6.

norwaysaint Posted 10 February, 2009 Share Posted 10 February, 2009 This is shocking, imo. Well done to Saint Keith for researching this stuff, it really shows how the school system is both dumbing down and pandering to minorities. I think it's PC gone mad that they're planning maths questions in immigrant languages like this, surely immigrants should be learning English as part of the curriculum! This loony leftie tree hugging PC brigade labour government has a lot to answer for. Disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scudamore Posted 10 February, 2009 Share Posted 10 February, 2009 I'm pretty sure enjoying a good "education getting easier" gag is in actual fact a sign of getting old. As such i refuse to take part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
