A Washington, D.C., school teacher has been sacked after she set inappropriate homework to her third-grade class.
美国华盛顿的一位数学老师由于给三年级学生出题太暴力而被开除。
The unnamed teacher, from Trinidad Centre City School, gave the students a number of maths problems framed around violent and illegal scenarios. The problems deal with gruesome shootings, killings and one even talks about cooking Africans in ovens.
这位老师的名字被没有透露,只知道是来自Trinidad中心学校的一位老师。她所出的数学题涉及了暴力和非法场景,包括恐怖的枪杀、杀人场景,甚至还有把非洲人放进烤箱里的问题。
One reads: ‘I was sleeping one night when a hungry vampire sucked 3652 liters of blood from me and 1865 liters of blood from my little brother. How much blood did the hungry vampire drink that night?’
比如有一道题是这样的:“一天晚上我在睡觉。一个饥饿的吸血鬼吸食我3652升血,吸食我弟弟1865升。这名吸血鬼那晚共吸食多少升血?”
Another reads: ‘I took a nap in a bog one day and woke up screaming. 3796 leeches, 2910 fleas and 1044 vampire bats were stuck to my bald head drinking my blood in ecstasy. How many bloodthirsty bloodsuckers were dining on my head?’
还有一题题目是:“一天我在一片沼泽地里打瞌睡,我醒来的时候不得不惊叫连连,因为有3796只水蛭、2910只跳蚤和1044只吸血蝙蝠在我光秃秃的脑袋上吸我的血。问一共有多少只吸血动物在吸我的血?”
Some are incredibly morbid: ‘John's father gave him 1359 marbles on his birthday. John swallowed 585 marbles and died. 9 of John's friends came for his funeral the next day. John's grieving father gave the remaining marbles to John's friends in equal numbers. How many marbles did each friend get?’
还有一些题目更加变态,比如“约翰的父亲给他1359颗弹珠。他吞下585颗后死亡。9个朋友来参加葬礼,约翰的父亲把剩余弹珠均分给他们,每人得到多少颗?”
The worksheets of the maths problems can be downloaded from a website called Homeschooling Paradise. The creator of the website Chris Murphy said that he was tired of hearing kids saying maths was their least favourite subject so he wanted to create problems that were free for teachers and parents all over the world to use. He added that he wanted to make them exciting so that kids would get into maths and love it.
这些数学题是在一家名为“作业天堂”的网站上出现的,并且提供下载。该网站的建立者表示,他已经听够了孩子们说数学是他们最讨厌的科目了,所以他想建立一个网站可以让大家把有趣好玩的题目上传上去,供全世界的老师和家长使用。他希望孩子可以觉得数学题很有意思,从而让他们爱上数学。
