Maths for dummies


“The interval between the decay of the old and the formation of the new, constitutes a period of transition, which must always necessarily be one of uncertainty
” - John C Cahorn


Education crisis we all agree.

What can be done about it. For a start, we should teach the little f*ckers to read and write before they leave school. What are they being taught in school in South Africa these days? Do yourself a favour and google "stabbing in SA schools" and be aware that self defense is not part of the curriculum. The “lunners” need to be taught morals by people with morals. Unfortunately any teachers worth their weight, have given up the struggle and emigrated to other, not necessarily greener, but definitely better tended to pastures and have been replaced by people who believe they are currently still involved in some or other struggle of a different nature. We are dying in a decaying society. The decay starts at home and school and gets worse as these aspiring criminals get older. But I guess if Julius and Jakob can make it so can any other asshole of colour without or with sh*t for brains.

Before we continue with the mathematics lesson, we will first learn the English language as is taught by a teacher in a local government school. The young (YT) female learner had been absent from school for three days and when she returned to school, the English language “teacher” (I believe that is the correct description) inquired of her why she had been absent from class. The well-spoken young lady stated that she had had a cold. The (I will not say that he is a black dumb-ass for fear of being branded a racist) “teacher” in his finest Fort Hare University queens English, corrected her and said “ You must not say I had a cold, you must say I was having a cold” The end result was the young lady being reprimanded for being insolent as she tried in vain to correct this product of the proud rainbow nation educkation sistim. Eish the stupid white people, they can’t evan tork they orn language. How!

Anyway, I digress, now is the time for the depiction of the disintegration of the arithmetic lesson through the years available in thirteen different languages in the happy and jubilant sing and dance jabulani la-la land rainbow nation. Allah have mercy on the infidels.


* Arithmetic 1980
A farmer sells a truck load of wood for R100.00
If his production costs are 4/5 of the selling price,
What is his profit?

* Arithmetic 1985
A farmer sells his truck load of wood for R100.
His costs are 4/5 of his selling price or R80.00
What is his profit?

* Arithmetic 1990
A farmer sells a truck load of wood for R100.00
His costs were R80.00
Did he make a profit?

* Arithmetic 2000
A farmer sells a truck load of wood for R100.00
His costs are R80.00 and his profit is R20.00
Task : Underline the figure 20.00


* Arithmetic 2009
An ex-farmer chops down a tree so that he can be making (sic) a profit of R20.00
He loads the bundles of wood onto his truck and before he can sell it, he stops at a busy intersection and is hijacked by a previously disadvantaged citizen of the rainbow nation. The hijacker beats the farmer with his pistol and then after a round of torture, he murders the farmer. The farmer was easy prey because he adhered to recent request by the police that when confronted by a hijacker, one should not offer any resistance. Please class do not feel alarmed, the farmer is white and the hijacker is currently advantaged.


The hijacker turned entrepreneur steals the truck and sells the wood for R50.00 and then sells the truck for a bargain price to a Lenasia based chop shop after a three hour cool off period (those f*cking satellite tracking devices) for a mere R850.00 and therefore only shows a profit of R900.00

Task: Describe in no less than two hundred spelling mistakes why apartheid is to blame?

“ONS VIR JOU SUID AFRIKA – VIVA ANC – AMANDLA – WHITE POWER, BLACK POWER, NO POWER!”

Mathematics teaching in the old White SA schools was still of the highest standard in 1985.
My mathematics teacher was also my headmaster and he had received his mathematics degree from Cambridge in the UK.

@ Doberman...

...that is why I will NEVAH send my daughter to a government school in SA.

...that is why I am leaving this cesspool later this year.

My sister teaches at a previous model C junior school. It is now completely infested (with only one white kid left, and he will move on at the end of the year). She has watched the decline of marks and the erosion of the quality of work produced and the decline of education levels as the classes have got darker and darker. This has also had an effect on the effectiveness of the white teachers as the culture of the class is now completely alien. She is planning on immigrating soon.

So (in real life) the governMUNT is now slowly reaping what it has sown... Lets see how they fix it (or not).

Vis Sic Pacem, Para Bellum!

My niece worked as a high school teacher in London. The experience was so crap and the "students" so horrible that she has given up teaching as a lousy job.
