My math students LOVE that I use the Common Core standards. I’ve lost count of how many have approached me over the years to say “Wow, that lesson actually made so much sense!” Or “I never really got this concept until you showed me how simple it really was.” The secret is first to actually know the standards, unlike the many teachers who dragged their feet when they encountered something “new” and never really understood their purpose. Second, never call them by their actual name because it’s been poisoned by those same teachers, whose ignorance made a complete mess.
First off, this is hilarious. That being said, I helped out during the final years of an in-law’s HVAC company that specialized in window units, and seeing one stuck right in the middle of the pane causes strong feelings of anxiety. Whether or not that was intentional, I say good job to the artist for making it the worst possible installation!
Lol, Carl’s generation wanted their 15 minutes just as badly, through the media available to them. He’s just cranky that he never got his… or maybe he did and no one remembers.
I love this comic but I can’t abide the misspelling of Habanero. Unlike the Jalapeño, from which this error likely originates, the former champion of hot peppers uses a regular n, and is also pronounced accordingly. I blame several celebrity chefs who proliferated the mispronunciation in the early 2000s (lookin’ at you, Bobby!)
