My Elementary Days: The Math Lesson

Hello Hivers! @baby.magic here, back again with another funny story that will surely put a smile on all yo' faces.

So let's get to it.

This is the second installment of a series of post I'm gonna do about my elementary days. So enjoy!

Less Than or Greater Than

So we went to the grandstand for a symposium which will be given by the principal.

And as we were waiting for the principal, two elderly teacher's thought of killing the time by teaching us some Math lessons.

And this is how it went,

Teacher 1: Good morning pupils.
Everyone: Good morning, Ma'am.
Teacher 1: Today I'll be teaching you some Math symbols.

This symbol < is called less than and this one > is greater than.

So repeat after me,...

2 is less than 4.

Everyone: 2 is less than 4.

And then Teacher 2 interrupts..

Teacher 2: Wait, I think this is less than and that is greater than.
Teacher 1: Oh my, how could I forget. You're right. Sorry.
Teacher 2: That's alright! Sometimes we forget.
Teacher 1: Okay everyone repeat after me..

2 is greater than 4.

Everyone: 2 is greater than 4.

I repeat what the teacher said but deep down I knew something was wrong with this lesson.

How the f*ck is 2 greater than 4.

And everyone seems to just go along with it.

And then Teacher 2 interrupts again,..

Teacher 2: Oh wait, I just remembered. This is greater than and that is less than.
Teacher 1: Well, you were always the smart one in Math.
Teacher 2: I know you don't have to tell me hahaha.
Teacher 1: Okay everyone! Repeat after me..

7 is less than 5.

Everyone: 7 is less than 5.

They did it again.

And I wasn't just gonna sit there and let these two ruin our lives with the wrong knowledge. So I objected...

Me: WHAT?!

[Everyone looking at me]

Me: I'm not buying that not even for one second. How the f^ck is 7 less than 5?!

Teacher 1: You know, the kid is right.
Teacher 2: I know what I'm saying.
Teach 1: I'm pretty sure this is less than.
Teacher 2: No, this is less than.
Teacher 1: I think this is less than.
Teacher 2: I'm smarter than you in Math, this is less than.

Obviously, Teacher 2's memory is deteriorating along with her body.

And these two were really going at it.

And we were looking left and right. Left....and.... right.
Left,.. right... left... right.

All the while, the principal was just standing there watching these two elderly teachers go at it & just shook his head until he had enough. And said..
