I...I still can't find the racism. Seriously. <br /><br />If some ancient Egyptian king with a long, sticky tongue (a vivid image, to be sure) is somehow racist, then Tom and Jerry were cat-ist.

Great problems for model drawing, no blood or gore involved! Also, Char Forsten's book, Step-by-Step Model Drawing is an excellent resource if you're trying to learn about model drawing.Ricky Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07681775957782185484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8705078887057341738.post-291952101519474862012-03-03T14:07:57.746-05:002012-03-03T14:07:57.746-05:00These problems are way too wordy to ever make it i...These problems are way too wordy to ever make it in a Singapore Math textbook.

I've used the Singapore Math books (the ones that really are from Singapore: Singaporemath.com imports them). They don't have problems like this at all. They have some weird non-US contexts like buying chicken saytay, whatever that is, but not gross stuff like this. Bad choices to give to a class (though I can think of a few individual elementary school boys they might keep engaged)LSquared32https://www.blogger.com/profile/00858524638866166691noreply@blogger.com
