Are you smarter than Mrs. B's students?

J_D -- For that well-played post, you get one of these as a prize from the rest of the class.

 

I think it's part of the same argument, because I understand now why I "needed" to know calculus even though I didn't, you know, really need to know it. And probably never will use it.

Learning it has helped me develop the skills to acquire knowledge about what I really did need to know -- and also, what I really want to know (because god knows I need to know more obscure baseball shit. )

 

So calculus is to blame for you being a saberhead

 

Substitute teacher Mr. F. B. gives out beers for good classroom participation.

 

No, I didn't have to take a calculus class in HS. Wasn't required.

 

I just think a thirst for information can be independent of any classes you took in formal education situations.

 

Nice try working "thirst" in there, missy. But you'll have to do better if you want a brew in this class.

 

HAHAHAH I don't like the beer you're serving up anyway, Mr. Bastard.

 

Agreed on that point. Besides, I'm not one to talk.

 

How do you find time to read anything else when you're looking up one-hitters in 1987??

 

Now, about that Louisiana Purchase, missy.

 

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm Yuengling.

I believe it was when someone bought some land for some really outrageous prices.
