History of Maths lessons

2. Teaching Maths In 1980

3. Teaching Maths In 1990
A logger sells a truckload of timber for £100. His cost of production is
£80.
How much was his profit?

4. Teaching Maths In 2000
A logger sells a truckload of timber for £100. His cost of production is
£80 and his profit is £20.
Your assignment: Underline the number 20.

5. Teaching Maths In 2005
A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and
inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the
preservation of our woodlands. Your assignment: Discuss how the birds
and squirrels might feel as the logger cut down their homes just for a
measly profit of £20.

6. Teaching Maths In 2009
A logger is arrested for trying to cut down a tree in case it may be
offensive to Muslims or other religious groups not consulted in the
felling licence. He is also fined a £100 as his chainsaw is in breach of
Health and Safety legislation as it deemed too dangerous and could cut
something. He has used the chainsaw for over 20 years without incident
however he does not have the correct certificate of competence and is
therefore considered to be a habitual criminal. His DNA is sampled and
his details circulated throughout all government agencies. He protests and
is taken to court and fined another £100 because he is such an easy target.


When he is released he returns to find Gypsies have cut down half his
wood to build a camp on his land. He tries to throw them off but is
arrested,
prosecuted for harassing an ethnic minority, imprisoned and fined a
further £100.


While he is in jail the Gypsies cut down the rest of his wood and sell
it on the black market for £100 cash. They also have a leaving BBQ of
squirrel and pheasant and depart leaving behind several tons of rubbish
and asbestos sheeting. The logger on release is warned that failure to
clear the fly tipped rubbish immediately at his own cost is an offence.
He complains and is arrested for environmental pollution, breach of the
peace and invoiced £12,000 plus VAT for safe disposal costs by a regulated
government contractor.

Your assignment: How many times is the logger going to have to be
arrested and fined before he realises that he is never going to make £20
profit by hard work, give up, sign onto the dole and live off the state
for the rest of his life?

7. Teaching Maths In 2010
A logger doesn’t sell a lorry load of timber because he can’t get a loan
to buy a new lorry because his bank has spent all his and their money
on a derivative of securitised debt related to sub-prime mortgages in
Alabama
and lost the lot with only some government money left to pay a few
million pound bonuses to their senior directors and the traders who made the
biggest losses.


The logger struggles to pay the £1,200 road tax on his old lorry
however, as it was built in the 1970s it no longer meets the emissions
regulations and he is forced to scrap it. Some Bulgarian loggers buy the
lorry from
the scrap merchant and put it back on the road. They undercut everyone
on price for haulage and send their cash back home, while claiming
unemployment for themselves and their relatives. If questioned they
speak no English and it is easier to deport them at the Government’s expense.
Following their holiday back home they return to the UK with different
names and fresh girls and start again. The logger protests, is accused
of being a bigoted racist and as his name is on the side of his old lorry
he is forced to pay £1,500 registration fees as a gang master. The
Government borrows more money to pay more to the bankers as bonuses are not
cheap.
The parliamentarians feel they are missing out and claim the difference
on expenses and allowances. You do the maths.

[pokerpete]

my suspicion is that most conspiracy theory nutters have some underlying racist tendencies they are trying to find ways to justify.

Anti-Semitism in Mike’s case. I don't know how anyone thinks it's ok to write anything so blatantly racist as that.
