Strange Math

THIS is what they're teaching the kids today?!?!? "Instead of obsolete, irrelevant, 'two trains leave Chicago' problems, [Vermont math progressives] provided their dose of 'real world context' in a math portfolio exercise that begins, 'A community of gnomes in a magic forest is upset because their forest is being bulldozed for a shopping mall.'" Jesus Christ, and I thought I was gay! Damn hippies! However, I just can't resist pleading, "Please, will someone think of the gnomes!"
