General Math II (referenced in the poem) is equivalent to Technical Math II, by the way. Oh, and make sure to read it with a rap beat for the proper effect. *groan*
This morning I stole a Lexus to get to school
To hear Garrison teach about the golden Rule
General Math II is what he can teach the best
No math teacher can compete (yo) he fades the rest
Right now I'm failin' that class with a 53
But I'll get that 70, just wait and see
Cause math ain't hard if you apply yourself
It gets you good women and a ton of wealth
And I'm out to get knowledge in the '96
I've beatin' down rednecks and a lot of hicks
Cause they've stood in the way of my math degree
And if it happens again (yo) it's the cemetery
So when it comes to math I don't joke around
And if Garrison talks, you best not make a sound
Unless you want to end up bleeding on the ground
[He makes it sound like Father Dear is an assassin!]
Chorus:
Garrison's teachin' free of charge
And with what he's teachin' you'll be livin' large
So pay attention in class and do your work
Unless you want to end up bein' a grocery store clerk

Well apparently that guy didn't enjoy math too much, but he certainly must have liked literature ;-) Talk about a classic...!
Your poor dad.

Hey! Sherrin stole what I was going to say!
That poem cracked me up. :-) My favorite line is: "Case math ain't hard if you apply yourself/It gets you good women and a ton of wealth"
Zan,
You know, I'm trying to remember if my mom graded my homework. I think she did. Actually our grade for math was the least formal of any grade we got. We took very structured tests for science and history for example, but usually we just took the back-of-the-chapter test for math. I don't remember getting letter grades for math.
60 was passing for my classes in college. . . not that I ever was borderline with a 60 ;).
Oh, and Ashley, that was my favorite line too. Math is a chick magnet, I guess ;).
In my high school, you had to get a 65 to pass, I believe. (I never really had to worry about that, so I'm not sure!) In college, you had to get a least a C- in your major classes and at least a D in the gen ed classes to pass.
