Why do we have such inexperienced english teachers!?

Good grief - that's priceless coming from the man who doesn't capitalise the personal pronoun! Or who can't leave a space after a full stop or comma!

You'll be lecturing us(s) on maths next - what is the square root of 3 by the way?

You are such a doughnut sometimes Lanesra!

The Irrationality of
Problem:
Prove that is an irrational number.

Solution:
The number, , is irrational, ie., it cannot be expressed as a ratio of integers a and b. To prove that this statement is true, let us assume that is rational so that we may write

= a/b

1.


for a and b = any two integers. We must then show that no two such integers can be found. We begin by squaring both sides of eq. 1:

3 = a2/b2

2.


or

3b2 = a2

2a.


If b is odd, then b2 is odd; in this case, a2 and a are also odd. Similarly, if b is even, then b2, a2, and a are even. Since any choice of even values of a and b leads to a ratio a/b that can be reduced by canceling a common factor of 2, we must assume that a and b are odd, and that the ratio a/b is already reduced to smallest possible terms. With a and b both odd, we may write

a = 2m + 1

3.


and

b = 2n +1

4.


where we require m and n to be integers (to ensure integer values of a and b). When these expressions are substituted into eq. 2a, we obtain

3(4n2 + 4n + 1) = 4m2 + 4m + 1
5.


Upon performing some algebra, we acquire the further expression

6n2 + 6n + 1 = 2(m2 + m)

6.


The Left Hand Side of eq. 3a is an odd integer. The Right Hand Side, on the other hand, is an even integer. There are no solutions for eq. 3a. Therefore, integer values of a and b which satisfy the relationship = a/b cannot be found. We are forced to conclude that is irrational.

I didn`t say England or Estonia. I said english and estonian(lanuages) which, i think, aren`t written with a Capital E(atleast in estonian they aren`t).

i think all of my teachers have been pretty good except for a few....

in year 2 our teacher made spelling mistakes on posters in our classroom which some of the parents of children in my class had to correct for her....

also have a physics teacher now who does not understand some things he teaches us, just tells us to read the text book....

Don't get me started about my english teacher. She is supposed to have qualifications in Speech/Drama, but cannot pronounce words such as 'says' and 'research'.

Luckily, uss, I'm going to be an english teacher. try not to cry too loudly
