2 + 2 = For NYC schools' guide filled with math, grammar errors
Teachers didn't even have to open the fourth-grade manual to find the first glaring goof. It was screaming across the cover: "Mathematics Planning for the Forth Grade."
...
Wrong answers. One question reads: Ms. Brown's fifth grade class read 178 books in Sept., 212 books in Oct. and 254 books in Nov. If the students rounded the number they read each month to the nearest hundred to estimate the total, what would be the total? The correct answer is 700. But the test guide says the answer is 600.

A question that prompts students to circle the figure that shows a line of symmetry. All the answers feature a figure that shows a line of symmetry.

1. That's what happens when text books are made in texas.
The bible clearly states that 200 + 200 + 300 = 600. So shut the fuck up and love thy neighbor.
