My Rap Song

Here is my first pathetic attempt to squeeze all the equations of GCSE maths into a rap song.
y=mx+c
v=u+at
Only a dumbass don’t get those right

distance equals sped times time
Try and make the equations rhyme

a squared plus b squared equals c squared
b squared minus 4ac
Write each step on a different line
And don’t forget the plus or minus sign

Are equals base time heighjt
Got that one right?
Give yourself one hundred per dent!

We Can Fix it!

Often these days it costs as much to repair or buy new. The Swedish Government is to offer tax rebates on repairs to reduce the buying of new things in favour of repairing old ones.
We should do this all over the world, and even get rebates on things for making them last. We should also have lessons in school to repair broken things like computers or toasters.
This would give people the incentive, and the skills to save the planet.

Grammar Schools are Back!

Hopefully there will be one just down the road from my house to push my house price up.
On an even more mercenary note, there will be more private tutoring for the 11+ and the 13+.
Hurray!
Beer all round!

Mathjax displaying

I noticed a week ago that any maths written in latex was not displaying. I have tracked the error to javascript and fixed it. Also, I am using a local mathjax installation which makes the website slighly faster.

Bye bye bye bye

50,000 teachers stopped being teachers last year. Believe it or not, most of them were sacked for incopetence or died behind their desk. They just got sick and taking crap and found something better to do.

Take an Online Test

Probably the wrong time of year for most people to be learning some maths or physics.
If you;re feeling brave or curious though, try an Online test.
Good luck.

How Your Life Might Change

In the next 20 or so years many jobs driving, riding and flying things might disappear. Even those whop don’t have jobs involving these will probably find they don’t need to be in control of anything that moves.
What will we become?
We will probably become more sporty. For many people driving, riding and flying things arouse the hunt/play instinct. We need to exercise these, so will do so by playing more sports than being in control of machines.

Mixing Life and Work

Not a good idea. Doesn’t mean it is avoidable though. When I had to throw a tenant out of my house – he owed me hundreds of pounds but would still order pizza, buy takeaway food and coffee – he posted a bad revuew on google.

Fortunately I don’t think anyone believes internet reviews. For the typical small business most reviews are fake.
