Math Teacher
My name is Mr. Mendoza. My game is mathematics. There are many of you out there probably thinking, "Mathematics is not for me." I will make mathematics for you. I will custom-tailor it with my sharp teaching shears to fit your confused teenage self. "Mathematics is uncool." I will coolify it. I will write the Pythagorean Theory graffiti-style on the chalkboard using bubble fonts. I will alter word problems, replacing "apples" and "oranges" with " pimps" and "hos." You think triangles are boring? I'll "show and tell" you my Coruscant dagger with its isosceles triangle blade, then you tell me triangles are boring. You can also tell me if the dagger's blade is congruent with this shark's tooth! I am the Mathematics King, and by the end of this course you will also be Mathematics royalty. Not quite as important royalty, not kings and queens, but perhaps princes and princesses. Even the least of you (I'm looking at you there, with the corduroy shirt) will become some sort of duke or grand vizier of Mathematics. I am not joking and you are not laughing.
There is a darkness in this world, ladies and gentlemen. Right now you are lost in this darkness, and I am offering you a flashlight. The darkness is your pubescent ignorance and the flashlight I'm offering is Mathematics. Let it shine! |
