Education Funny: Or Is It? Is Education A Priority In America? In Texas?

EdConnections Posted by Dan S. Martin
There is so much going on in the world, you can't even find "Education" on the President's bracket!  Looks like education didn't even make it into the tournament!

In Austin, Governor Perry helped marginalize education before the tournament even began.  What will we do about school finance in Texas?

Education Funny: Teaching Jobs Are Still Available For Those Seeking To Enter The Profession...Overseas

EdConnections Posted by Dan S. Martin
You can still use your teaching degree in Taiwan...and many other parts of the world.  In America, it is getting very iffy.    (O.K., so it is not so funny.  Neither is the shake-out currently going on in education.)

Education Funny: Important Concepts Taught To Us By Mother

EdConnections Posted by Dan S. Martin
I am trying to keep it a little lighter here heading towards Santa's visit and the more care free final days of the year.  Rest assured, though, substantive stuff will still be part of the daily fare! 
Check back regularly!


For now, some concept-based teaching most all of us can relate to:

Important Concepts Taught To Us By Mother

RELIGION

"You better pray that will come out of the carpet."

TIME TRAVEL

"If you don't straighten up, I'm going to knock you into next week!"

LOGIC

"Because I said so, that's why."

FORESIGHT

"Make sure you wear clean underwear, in case you're in an accident."

IRONY

"Keep laughing and I'll *give* you something to CRY ABOUT!"

OSMOSIS

"Shut your mouth and eat your supper!"

STAMINA

"You'll sit there 'til those lima beans are gone!"

HYPOCRISY

"If I've told you once, I've told you a million times - don't exaggerate!!!"

CIRCLE OF LIFE

"I brought you into this world, and I can take you out."

BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION

"Stop acting like your father!"

ENVY

"There are millions of less fortunate children in this world who don't have wonderful parents like you do!"


Let me know if you have any idea who I can credit for this.  It was sent to me some time ago without credit info.

Education Funny: Terrorism Sure Has Changed Life In America

EdConnections Posted by Dan S. Martin


Wish I could give a credit for this.  I clipped it years ago.  So long ago, I think they are referring to violence by children at the time, and the responding trend to add X-Ray machines in some schools.

I'm the one who tied it to terrorism vigilance!  My description is a "modern day" interpretation! 

Protect Santa.  Give peace a chance!  Happy Holidays!

Education Funny: Berlitz Commercial

EdConnections Posted by Dan S. Martin
Learning foreign languages can be challenging.  As can asking for help in an emergency from someone who did not learn one well!

Education Funny: We All Experience Learning Curves

EdConnections Posted by Dan S. Martin
This is a technology help desk joke.  Learning curves are part of the human experience, as is resistance to change!

Enjoy!

Education Funny: College Exams Can Be Tough

EdConnections Posted by Dan S. Martin
I came across this years ago and it made me laugh! 

It would be tough to even begin to prepare our secondary students for this college assessment!

HUMANITIES FINAL EXAM
Instructions: Read each question carefully. Answer all 13 questions. 4 hour time limit.  Begin immediately.

1. HISTORY
Describe the history of the papacy from its origin to the present day, concentrating especially but not exclusively on its social, political, economic, religious, and philosophical impact on Europe, Asia, America, and Africa. Be brief, concise, and specific.

2. MEDICINE
You have been provided with a razor blade, a piece of gauze, and & a bottle of scotch. Remove your appendix. Do not suture until your work has been inspected. You have 15 minutes.

3. PUBLIC SPEAKING
2,500 riot-crazed aborigines are storming the classroom. Calm them. You may use any ancient language except Latin or Greek.

4. BIOLOGY
Create life. Estimate the difference in subsequent human culture if this form of life had developed 500 million years earlier, with special attention to its probable effect on the English parliamentary system. Prove your thesis.

5. MUSIC
Write a piano concerto. Orchestrate and perform it with flute and drum. You will find a piano under your seat.

6. PSYCHOLOGY

Education Funny: Spell Checker

EdConnections Posted by Dan S. Martin
Spell checkers sometimes miss the mark:

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.


I am not sure who to credit for this.  Whomever it is......can't spell very well!!
