The teacher is fucking stupid. The question says Marty ate more, that is not only possible it is a given.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 83 points 3 days ago (2 children)

The teacher is fucking stupid.

The teacher is likely under-trained, overworked, and under-qualified for the class. Common in districts where the focus of the administration is driving down the cost of education rather than delivering the highest quality.

That is, of course, assuming this is a real homework and not some agitprop churned out by a Facebook group or a social media account more interested in generating outrage than education.

With the choice of marker, I'd say its rage bait.

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Can confirm. My grad mentor's grad mentor used green because he'd read a paper that green causes more eye strain and he thought it'd be hilarious to grade in green.

I grade in green because it drives my students nuts.

[–] SLVRDRGN@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So you're not confirming that it's rage bait but rather that it's a real graded paper.

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I don't even know anymore. Grading in green is ragebait.

[–] Shayeta@feddit.org 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

"Under-qualified" for the class? Are we really setting the bar beneath the level of a grade schooler?

[–] krakenx@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Sadly, yes. A third grade transfer student from a good school district might very well be smarter than their teacher. Especially in rural areas.

[–] djehuti@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah, I'm not buying underqualified. Underqualified for a fifth grade diploma, maybe.

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 19 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I agree, the kid is correct. This is the only viable answer.

[–] Bgugi@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not true. Marty could have also eaten pizza that was not his.

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

No, "Marty ate 4/6 of his pizza"

[–] Bgugi@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Which does not preclude him also eating 1/6 each of Martha's, Denise's, and Sam's pizzas.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It does not state that Marty only ate 4/6 of his pizza. Nor that he ate only of his own pizza. It defined a minimum pizza consumption threshold for Marty without further details.

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 3 points 2 days ago

You have to use the variables given. He ate 4/6 of his pizza and the other guy ate 5/6. Saying he ate the other guys pizza would result in a tie (not more) and is not an option. The answer they wanted was "impossible", the kid gave the only real shenanigan proof viable answer.
