“Similarly, we were interviewing a kid to do grunt work at our shop. Tbe other 3 guys seemed to think he was ok; I did not. So, I asked him what one-third of one-half was. He had no idea, and didn’t even seem embarrassed by that. We didn’t hire him.”
pretty high standards for “grunt” work, if you expect your applicant to know how to multiply fractions.
It is time to look at role models and motivation. Parent participation and better teachers cannot overcome bad role models and the life style of these role models undercuts what motivation the students may have.
Lol, “grunt work” meaning checking parts to within .0005”, etc. Not cleaning toilets. Anyway, that’s what, 4th grade math? I realize such a question would probably stump 80% of HS graduates. Hey, I didn’t like the guy.
it all about the sanctified teachers....
when you read "for the children" it really means "$$$$ for the teachers"....
