All homework is cancelled, instead your homework for tonight is to watch this thing and then laugh. IT IS LITERARY GODDAMMIT.

I don't know whether to be amused by the Smiths parody or upset by it. But I think I'll choose to be amused.

So between Horrible Histories, Bill Nye, and this new show Drunk History that's premiering this week, do we even need to be teachers anymore? Can't we just show episodes of this stuff in our classes and get manicures while the episodes are on?

Oh wait I guess there's no math show. So I'd still have to teach. DAMNIT! How come nobody writes funny, educational shows about math?

Psssssst, Adrienne. This may be relevant to your interests? :)

Okay, yes, these are definitely getting added to my teaching syllabus!

I think I'll have to cancel math homework today and assign everyone to make hexaflexagons and use snake modules to make fractal curves.

Yes, I enjoyed that one especially. I wasn't familiar with the phone game so I didn't get it at first but Tandy enlightened me.

I'm also highly impressed by her doodles. (And wow that sounds wrong, doesn't it?) If any of my students brought me doodles like that, instead of tweeting during my lectures when they don't want to pay attention, they might get extra credit.
