#1882198 Just finished my first year of being a MS/HS math teacher

and well basically

But really, it was awesome. Despite all this common core bullshit, I got to see (most of) my students grow. Some failed, some flew in the middle, and some exceeded my expectations by a landslide, but in the end it's all coming down to their test scores. Kinda sucks. Hopefully enough of my students will pass and I'll still have a job. :unsure:

There's not really anything to "figure out". You gave an expression with labeled variables and a clear example above that.

 

With CP = 200,000 NP, sigma n = 13, GF = 100,000 NP, and n = 4, the "super secret bonus" is literally negative four trillion.

 

That's with my attempt at fixing your brackets lol.

I kinda expected for you to point out a "flaw" than an pithy opinion. I feel disappointed, but then again, that means I did a good job, I guess.  :/

 

 

I don't have the time to go through it all, so I'm just going to trust you :p

 

Pretty sure that bonus equation is going to be giving people an infinite bonus lol.

 

There's the n^(.01 * CP) bit. That. No no no. Hell nah.

 

It looks like you're just using n = 4, so 4^(.01 * 100,000 NP) = infinity, basically. Literally an exponential with over 600 digits.

 

Not trying to be rude or anything. As a mathematician, it's impossible for me to ignore stuff like this haha.

 

(Also not really sure what you mean by setting z = 0 to the pool divided by days left with a' = .05...)

I'm a teacher. Shit like this is disgusting, and half the comments on this thread are disgusting.

Then they should seek immediate professional help if they can't cope with the basic realities of life.

 

I think it's a little ridiculous to call jokes about traumatic events part of "the basic realities of life".




#1805309 Beheading Happens One Time in America

It's just a crazy mofo. This man doesn't represent the entirety of Islam, just as the Westboro Baptist Church doesn't represent all Christians.

 

If my muslim friend tries to behead me, I'll let you know.
