Thisis the kind of word problem that traumatized me over math. A train going east at 80mph, car leaves somewhere else traveling 60 mph, what time is it in Milwaukee? Miller time?
"How many times can Bush be blamed?"
All of them.
Another Common crud question, if pResident Quagmire gave a nationally televised speech, how many times will he say, Me, or I, before he mispronounces Corpsman.
Common Corpse hasn't figured out a way to count that high.
The answer is, "Who knows or gives a rats ass about how old the shepherd is. But obviously the person who made up this question is simply another inept otherwise unemployable government bureaucrat and any teacher that would submit this question is equally a dolt!"
The only thing that is common with those that perpetuate 'common core' is their complete ignorance of life as we know it.
What difference does it make now anyway!?
Clearly the answer is POTATO.
There are 25 administration scandals and 5 foreign crises. How many minutes until Obama heads to the golf course? For extra credit, how many fund raisers will he attend?
If there was one stupid teacher, one ignorant politician and one dumb ass bureaucrat, how many dollars have been wasted?
The answer
MILLIONS and MILLIONS and proof positive that tenured teachers should be come extinct
The first sentence bugs me as much as the stupid question. The dogs are not IN the flock - they HERD the flock.
And if you need five dogs to herd twenty five sheep, you have lazy dogs.
those a trained common core dogs I'll have you knoe. It took a lot of EBT trading to do that.
Or maybe they're union dogs so they get mandatory 30-minute breaks.
It appears they flocked this one up.
Oh, God, here we go!
Ewe have a good point.
Common Core proves that educators are a sheep at the wheel.
They might be sheep at the wheel but who's counting?
Tired of them trying to pull the wool over our eyes by ramming this crap down our throats.
It's shear nonsense, isn't it?
These are all real baaaaaaad jokes.
I expect to see some better ones by morning... when my a-lamb goes off.
