WINNIPEG, Manitoba (Reuters) - A Canadian teacher has been suspended after shocking a small northern Manitoba school by distributing a math exam that included questions about pimps, prostitutes, machine guns, cocaine trafficking and getting "knocked up."
The math proficiency test included questions such as: "Rufus is a pimp for three girls. If the price is $65 per trick, how many tricks per day must each girl turn to support Rufus' $800 per day crack habit?"

actually, if you look up the LA high school math proficiency, you will see that the questions were directly lifted. so, the bloke is unorginal. and probably soon to be unemployed.

quote:The test appeared to be modeled after an exam called "The City of Los Angeles High School Math Proficiency Exam," found on an Internet joke site.
I was wondering about that; from reading what people said while the page itself was loading, I knew I remembered a similar joke exam I read once. It is funny, although I can't believe anyone would be dumb enough to use it. With that in mind, and the (now-closed) Creationist thread I just caught up on, it seems I'm really going to have to revise my estimates of average human intelligence. Downwards.

LOL!!! Oh my lord. I'm on the side of funny. But to think that someone would be dumb enough to distribute this test and think they're NOT going to be booted to the curb and lynched by parents.... that is just sad. Stupid people doing stupid things....
