Does this person have any experience at all with art, drama or music? Because I must just be jaded by my huge piles of money.
Jaded by that, and lulled by the total fluffy-puppy-baby-bunny inoffensiveness of the arts.
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well, even as a math teacher/lover/geek, I do have some pretty serious issues with the way math is taught in high school. Why do we focus so much on algebra anyway? There's a lot of equally simple topics out there that could work just as well for encouraging logical/abstract thinking, that most students would find a bit more interesting.
I feel that same way, too. Really, I'd put statistics ahead of trigonometry as something that most students should study, and I'd put logic right at the top of the list. Basic algebra, absolutely, but quadratic equations? Hyperbolas? There's plenty of better math that we could be teaching them.
I'd say that what's usually in Algebra I, plus the basics of geometry, go into the "what everybody ought to know" list. But, if I ruled the world, I'd put way more options into the math curriculum after that.

Careers in these areas make huge money and don't go against anyone's morals, the way science does.
Well, I for one am hoping my inoffensive screenplay about Jesus, Vishnu, and Osama bin Laden enjoying a game of strip Dungeons & Dragons, gamemastered by Satan, and eating pork and steak snacks will make buckets of money.

I'm sure you threw in a lot of gay sex too, right Gud? Because we all know that catapults things to the top of the ratings/box office.

IOeducationN: My alumni association has found me! How do they do that?
It wasn't me! Except maybe karmically. Sorry about that jinx, Sparky.

Of course, I want to make the huge money after all and who would be offended? It's not like I'm going to have them extracting DNA from a T-Rex bone or some other porny thing.
