DEI Math

When a white supremacist or/and chauvinist suspects that an ill-posed or poorly worded math question, or for that matter any mathematical faux pas, big or small, most likely comes from a woman/person of color/immigrant/LBGTQ.
While a team of math educators-turned-inspectors are still investigating the source of the “confusing” test question that led thousands of students into frustration or panic, the Blamer-in-Chief attributes it to a DEI math problem.

Pi Prank

Some silly, reckless, or deadly act underperforming or poorly motivated students perform on their oft-mean teacher on Pi Day, be it for fun, malice, or revenge—when these rowdies or troublemakers want to get even with adults on this most popular date in the math calendar.
Playing pi pranks like throwing a whole pizza at a teacher’s face and ordering a cicadas pizza for the math HOD is often a paying-back time for rogue students to humiliate the teaching staff.

X

The name of an arguably mismanaged company, invariably defined by a range of unknowns or variables, such as the true value of its assets, the number of fake or spam accounts, the uncertain dismissal of more employees with declining ad revenue, its decision to allow hate speech on its platform, and its possible sale to a gullible or rogue owner to avoid bankruptcy.
What are the odds that with all the lawsuits, fines, and more advertisers deserting the platform, not to say, the low morale among its overworked staff, X might be the next Blockbuster or Kodak?

Rogue Ratios

Quantitative bad deals whereby enslaved workers or employees are being taken advantage of by their bosses or entrepreneurs, who have financial control over their lives, be it five days of work in exchange for a weekend break (5 : 2)—an investment of –60%—or a two-week annual leave (2 : 52), or a 5% savings rate on gross salary for 40 years.
Millions of people around the world are aware of the rogue ratios that force them to live a mediocre life, but only a very percentage of them think they can work for a better ratio to achieve financial freedom.

Zero Fucks

When someone doesn’t give a heck or damn if they feel they were or are right, even if others didn’t or don’t like them because of it.
Leaders can’t lead their sheep effectively unless they give zero fucks to all those oft-unreasonable or biased complains or protests against them.

What if?

Two of the most powerful words in your vocabulary that could empower you to change the world and make it a better place for billions of people on the planet.
Asking “What if?” is all about possibility. What if Trump were a truth teller? What if Kim were a peacemaker? What if Christ came back next summer?

Zombie Math

When canned and conventional math methods (or dated and dead ideas) live on, and anxious teachers and parents rely on old school techniques to solve word problems, especially when oft-visual problem-solving strategies are available to help students with “look-see” solutions.
Tens of thousands of American math teachers are stuck with zombie math, refusing to experiment with Singapore’s more intuitive bar model method in solving brain-unfriendly math questions.
