This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Are fractions not ratios?? I continue to be perplexed by the oddity of bad teachers' thinking :(

I think I used ratio sytax and did it a little differently (A:B vs A/(A+B)) So if someone ate 5 of the 8 pizza slices, it was expected to be expressed as 5/8. What I did was express it as 5:3, 5 eaten and 3 uneaten.

For as salient as this memory was, she was an otherwise sweet and wonderful teacher. I still remember her fondly despite my genuine dismay at trying and getting a red marked sheet back.
