Somebody once said – Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach him to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Teachers are among the hardest and lowest paid workers and yet must meekly accept any and all criticism. Here is one teacher who’s tried to think outside the square, and all it got him was a whole heap of trouble. Gotta love his initiative though.

Teacher in trouble over meth maths question

A High school teacher is in trouble over an algebra test for his students that incorporated a drug dealer. Local news reports said the principal at Moriarty High School in New Mexico believes the teacher “made a misjudgment” when he posed this question to his students:

Smoky J. sells meth (methamphetamine, a stimulant). Smoky’s source says he has to sell a G’s (thousand dollars’) worth of meth by the end of the month.

How do you like the new and updated version of ‘If a train leaves Chicago at…..’

If Smoky sold $240 the first week and $532 the second week, how much money must Smoky make if he wants to avoid the beat down from his connection?

What the teacher should do is go through the answers to see if any of his students can deliver meth at a lower price. Then work for them.
