This one is hilarious. Why is this a racist thing? Is there a need to move around during math class for black students? Or are they saying that the teacher needs to breakdance?
Focus is important for math. Students who can focus better will excel. Integrate distractions into the math class to disturb the focus of focused students. It's some Harrison Bergeron shit.
Solve this parabolic function equation,
OR
Twerk to get the full mark.
P.S. : White Devils are not allowed to culturally appropriate twerking and will fail the exam if they do it.
Breakdancing would’ve been a nice break during calculus or trig classes. Lol
I'm trying to imagine my math teacher breakdancing, it would have been so hilarious.
A funny thing about math was that I struggled with algebra and trigonometry to get a C or a low B at best. Calculus was super easy for me though. Go figure
I loved math, all of it. I was a kid that did math on my own in my free time. It was the only class I loved.
It's the idea that black kids have inherent propensity to dance that they just have to get out of their system all the time and practice to be healthy. The soul brotha, soul sista race. That's how libs think so they think they're doing black nerds a favor by coming up with stupid hip hop analogies in class. This dates back to the 90s at the very least. Older millenials and Gen X can distinctly remember authority figures trying to come up with the lamest beats imaginable to teach schmaltzy lessons about multiplication tables, narcotics and pirating software
Or maybe they would have been better off not punishing and drugging (ironically, after constant fear mongering about drugs) children for yawning and stretching when getting up after two hours of sitting still. It's schizophrenic nonsense.
another memory: constantly trying to get unwilling elementary school kids to dance in insipid plays written with one hand for the sadistic barely concealed sexual pleasure of Principal Groomer McFuckerstein and Vice Principal Proxy Munchausen
