Final Exam Adverts: Tough Times for Teachers

Postby Zancarius » Tue Dec 02, 2008 1:12 pm

I found this humorous:

http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/ ... -ads_N.htm

A high school calculus teacher has apparently grown sick of paying for supplies out of his own pocket and now sells advertising space on his quizzes, chapter exams, and final exams to local businesses. Some parents have underwritten his sponsorship, too, but I think this is simply proof that teachers often get the raw end of the stick. Hell, I sure wouldn't want to be one!
I gave that lich a phylactery shard. Liches love phylactery shards.

Bah... most of our teachers put it on the kids to buy such things for an extra point or two on an exam. Its really quite sad.

Hence why there are no kids with milk money! It's no longer fun to mug them for it! No reward! *stomps his feet while walking off in the distance*
