An Infidel in Paradise (2013)
“I check again to make sure, and there it is, question nineteen, dutifully recorded, missing an answer. It’s so unfair. I completed the first eighteen questions. Why do we have to do the same formula nineteen freaking times, anyway? I read about this study once that said doing homework actually makes kids stupider. Apparently, they discovered repetition kills our creativity. You think? What kills me is that they had to pay some fancy PhD to discover what any half-witted kid could have told them ...for free.
If I had any guts, I would turn to Mr. Derry right now, in front of the entire math class, and tell him he killed half my brain cells with the first eighteen questions and I simply didn’t have enough left to complete question nineteen. And, given that I’m only in standard math, he really should not be messing with my limited mental resources. I bet if I did that, the entire class would stand up and cheer, or maybe even organize a spontaneous parade in my honor. Of course, to be honest, the kids in this room would do pretty much anything to get out of eighty minutes of math.MoreLess
