hard in math

[steve181]

i never went wrong myself with BEDMAS

[schuyler]

its like adding and subtraction, they are interchangeable. if you do 2+4-3, 6-3 is the same as 2+1. 3*10/5: 30/5, or 3*2

[indian airlines]

This is wierd.

BEDMAS/BODMAS says division before multiplication.

PEMDAS says multiplication before division.

Personally, I've always used BODMAS and it's never been wrong.

[schuyler]

sped: special ed: special education: can be a noun(he's a sped), adverb(its the sped bus), ect


fwiw, we also learned the dear aunt sally line, though i never used it

[FlyCharlestonSC]

She "left" for about 3 months in the middle of the year and they had to hire a teacher's assistant to keep teaching. She came back for lyk the last month of school.

Or how about this year when our "new" English teacher had the audacity to take her honeymoon for the first 2.5 weeks of the school year, and then show up, deciding to quit on her first day.

hmm....

sounds like she should have just taken maternity leave
