A few years ago, I was trying to help some friends' daughter with her homework. She was 10 years old and in the 5th grade. She refused to learn the multiplication tables which she should have known by the end of 3rd grade. One day, looking very puzzled, she handed me a sheet of paper which read something like this:
Congratulations! Your scores in math have qualified you for a special after school tutoring program in math. There will be cookies and other snacks. The fun math sessions will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please give this note to your parents and return it signed by them to your teacher.
The little girl asked me, "Is this good or bad?" Talk about PC being taken to the limit of the absurd!
