Looks like some kids really dodged a bullet.
They don't let people carry guns in English schools. If they had, my teaching career would have been even shorter.
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?

What else would I do with the little buggers?
Oh, God. You had to ask that, didn't you.

My mind's eye will never be the same.

When I did teacher training, we used the number line a lot as a way of visualising it. Pictures are great - I struggled with imaginary numbers until somebody showed them as points on 2-axis curve, then suddenly it all made perfect sense. In fact, they'd have been better off never calling them imaginary numbers in the first place - very misleading.
I had a math professor who said that imaginary number was an unfortunate name as they were no more imaginary than any other number.

There is a line we cross when we go from "I will believe it when I see it" to "I will see it when I believe it".

Good to know. My son's school was traditionally an Everyday Math school but switched over to Singapore Math a few years ago. I think they still use Everyday math until 3rd or 4th grade though.
We use Singapore Math here at home with our son. Much better methodology than the old rote system my wife and I learned at school.
