[b]5. Teaching Maths In 2017[/b]

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. )

@dunpender Well, how about that? You've stooped to accusing me of doubtful intellect. That is typically the ploy of the intellectually inept.
