Because of the evolution in teaching math since the 1950s:
1. Teaching Math In 1950s
A logger ***** a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production
is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit ?
2. Teaching Math In 1960s
A logger ***** a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production
is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?
3. Teaching Math In 1970s
A logger ***** a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production
is $80. Did he make a profit?
4. Teaching Math In 1980s
A logger ***** a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production
is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number
20.
5. Teaching Math In 1990s
A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and
inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the
preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers, and if you feel like crying, it's ok. )
6. Teaching Math In 2007
Un hachero vende una carretada de maderapara $100. El costo de la producciones es $80. Cuanto dinero ha hecho?

Yeah, it's the truth as I see it, as well. The problem is, we ain't drinking that liberal Kool Aid. I will never understand it. LB
