India and USA have similar problems

Transitional Mathematics Study The New, New Math 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 1960s:

1. Teaching Math In 1960s

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit ?

4. Teaching Math In 1990s

5. Teaching Math In 2000s

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).

New Disney film..."Jet Black"

This just In:

Walt Disney's new film called "Jet Black" (the non racist version of "Snow White") has been put on hold.

All of the 7 dwarfs :

Dealer, Stealer, Mugger, Car Jack, Drive By, Pimp and MoFo, have refused to sing "Hi Hoe".

They also say they have no fucking intention of "Going off to work”.

I sympathize with the US people.

We in India have our own problems with infiltrators from Bangladesh and Pakistan who act as vote banks for the political parties like the SP, TMC and Congress just as the Mexicans and other coloured people have become vote banks of Obama and the Democratic party. Obama has regularized the infiltrators up to December 2011 just as the Congress party has regularized the infiltrators in the NE region and Mamata turns a blind eye on the problem in West Bengal.
