Keep your middle name close – it gives others power over you. Sadly, there is nothing you can do to keep it from your parents, who gave it to you in the first place. One teacher took that idea to a logical-mathematical conclusion. Pi, you see, does not end.
It starts with the classic 3.14 and then just keeps going and going and going, forever and ever – at least, that is the theory. We guess it is possible it could end, though unlikely. Now the answer remains, who are Pi’s parents? E and I? Radius and circumference? The possibilities are endless.
Liar Liar
Mrs. Shapiro appears to value honesty above all else, even if it means ratting out little Charlie to his parents. The King Cake incident indeed sounds intriguing, and his parents are surely in for quite the treat. We really want to know what the King Cake incident was all about. It sounds like something that could have happened in "Game of Thrones."
Let's just hope no one was hurt in the mysterious King Cake incident. Hmm...our imagination is already wandering. Whatever the case may be, it seems that Mr. Shapiro was on top of it and pretty much said everything that needed to be said in this note. Good luck, Charlie!
Time to Build a Love of School
Halloween's a great time for school – kids get to come up with fun costumes, and teachers get to let loose a little bit. Some teachers, apparently, go the extra mile coming up with something fun for the day, like this guy, who absolutely nailed the Lego minifig look.
The cylindrical yellow head, the yellow grabber-like hands, even the little gap between the hips and the legs. Just incredible. A lot of teachers know that you have to have the respect of your students, and this would do a great deal to get their attention. I guess it's true when they say that "everything is awesome."
Money Talks
The amount that teachers get paid is often thought to be a much lower number than it should be. One teacher (math teacher? That's a big possibility) worked the numbers to figure out how much teachers would be getting paid if they earned as much as babysitters.
Of course, any economist will tell you it wouldn't just work like that unless inflation hit pretty hard and money became worth a lot less. Oh, hey, look at that. Sadly, supply and demand is still a thing, no matter how much math you do, so we don't think this will ever happen.
A Handy List
The cry of the Texas Revolution was, “Remember the Alamo!” And rightly so! Probably. We don't actually remember why. One teacher wanted to make sure that nobody in his or her class forgot about this big event in the history of Texas and the United States in this classroom, no sir. No ma'am.
Nobody is going to forget that while Texas lost the battle of the Alamo, it would eventually win the war and become part of the great United States of America. Or that this famous battle included the deaths of legendary folk heroes Davy Crockett and James Bowie.
