#3: Re: The math exam Author: rdncktink, Location: Hwaseong, South KoreaPosted: Mon Aug 27, 2007 5:32 pm ---- man I remember doing problems like that for my students when I tutored. Only problem is in most districts around here it has to translated into at least 5 languages, including 2 types of Spanish, 1 Russian, white home boy, and the general that it was written in. Also from what I was told can't ask for gang affil. But one can guess from the artwork/graffity that is on the paper instead of the answer.
