Johnny’s Math Mishap
Little Johnny received a dismal score on his math test, prompting his teacher to call his dad. When Johnny’s father confronted him, Johnny blamed his teacher’s methods. “My teacher isn’t very good,” he claimed.
Perplexed, his father pressed for details. Johnny explained, “Well, on Monday, my teacher said 3+5 = 8. Then on Tuesday, she said 4+4 = 8, and on Wednesday she said 6+2 = 8.” Johnny concluded, “If she doesn’t know what equals eight, how am I supposed to know the right answer?”
This humorous exchange sheds light on the importance of clear instruction in education.
