"Funny, sad, and true." This. Also, to those dumbasses saying it isn't this bad or isn't accurate, fuck off you pansies. THIS IS THE TRUTH. Our education system is a fucking failure. How am I so sure? Because I'm stuck in it. People in my math class have so much trouble comprehending basic equations it's deplorable. I wonder how the hell they made it to this level of instruction. Then again, it IS a public school.

Not an exact representation of what''s being taught, but there are questions like this in most textbooks nowadays.

This is not an accurate account of our educational history. Shame on whoever wrote this, mocking not only the hard working professional teachers, but also the move toward a more environmentally sound thought process.
