    It was reported that Florida’s govt found these as they examined text books in public schools .apparently this was in a Missouri school district.
    Feel free to verify.

    Did you really see such questions, or did you just post them with satirical intent?!

    This kind of math story question was seeping in our child's call during Clinton's Outcome Based Ed. They became part of the values clarification brainwashing.

    Indeed, none of the multiple choice answers are correct. 👍 brightwriter
    In senior calculus our teacher messed up a problem and about 10% of the class of 30 spent half the testing period discussing the issue with the teacher.
    The problem had an obvious (but wrong) whole number answer, while the correct answer was less obvious.

    Ultimately the teacher admitted his error and ... drum roll ... gave everyone credit for a correct answer.
    (Trophies For Everyone!!!!)
    Yes, the 3 who actually were correct received personal satisfaction and no credit for actually understanding the problem, but why reward merit, that's racist.
    In real life, aren't all answers obvious whole numbers?

    Difficult to accept that this is real. Who would want to write this knowing children will read and assume these are acceptable life choices? What teacher would want to teach it?

    Good solution! Although the kid who answered that way with a write-in answer would still get an "F" for being a bigot if I know anything about public education.

    In the past this would have resulted in a lawsuit against the publisher of the textbooks by the school districts, and a cancelling of future contracts.

    What went wrong?

    You can’t tell the people ... sometimes you have to show them.

    Sometimes you can't TELL the public the truth.
    YOU MUST SHOW THEM.
    ONLY THEN WILL PEOPLE FIND THE WILL TO CHANGE.
    Crimes against children unite all humanity [cross party lines]?
    Difficult truths.

    Florida is examining Educational materials and this
    Was in a ninth grade algebra book as an example.
    Sorry it’s note a joke. I am thankful that this is being exposed. It shows the degree of EVIL we are fighting.
