At least he knows SOME math!!

Priorities..!

Speaking of “70,” Philadelphia will hit that temperature a couple of days this week. That’s normal for the first or second week in May!

Yep. Upper Illinois, out by the (Mighty) Fox River, we have been told to expect 71° today. Of course, our sole, only, lone month that is just not capable of reaching (and sometimes maintaining) said 70° ( or more) temperature, is January. But, we’re also dropping back to highs in the 40’s to 50’s range tomorrow & onward.

Summer vacation…in some places, summer will soon be starting in the next few weeks…

Don’t think the irony is lost on him.

I’ll never forget a math test in college. For some reason my brain just froze up and refused to work at all. What a nightmare come true!

I once fell asleep during the first half of a two-part math test in high school.

Dexter has shown a number of times that he’s actually quite smart. Like Calvin and Caulfield, he doesn’t like working inside the school box.

Motivational mathematics mastery.

As a teacher, I would chalk write the number days left in the Semester. After Spring break I would write the number of days until the start of school in the fall. Groaning ensued.

I’ve known a few people like that. Ask them a question and you’ll get accurate chapter and verse. Ask them a specific math question and look out.

Aren’t snow days added to the end of the school year?
