where is the teacher?

I hope it was the teacher doing the pushups. It reminds me of how Tom McCaffery, at a loss as to how to teach us algebra, engaged us in a seminar on the difference between 1 and 0 that lasted half the year. God, how I cursed Hyde during my first semester at college.

At Hyde, occasional abuse I received at the hands of classmates filled me with suffocated anger. The shame, agony, and fear of corporal punishment, which I regarded as unfair and cruel; the inculcation of a sense of failure and squalor that formed part of the method of instruction; and the awareness of being enveloped by a sense of malignant joy when physical or mental castigation fell upon another was my character education and preparation for life.

What was tragedy for one was a joke for another.

Yes and we proved that 0 /= 1 !!!!  I actually learned some proof techniques in that class.  When the students taught the class, which was often, it was far more disciplined and organized than the class in the video.

:rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:

This is too funny!  All dressed up and no where to go!!!  Do students have to get suited up like this every day now?  Somehow I remember it being more informal during my time... huh.

Filmmaker has a myspace page.  Tried to check it out, but it has been deleted!?  Considering that the video was added just 10 hours ago, makes me wonder...

More from the same filmmaker.  "US HISTORY ON SPIRIT DAY."  Eleven seconds of everyone dressed in green?  Maybe one of her (?) first efforts...

Impossible. But I'll bet you can, using Tom McCaffrey proof techniques.

Can i ask a few questions about the clips?

Why were the kids in green. Was it a sports day with their house colours? or some other hyde tradition?

In the Algebra clip who was the teacher? Was it the young woman?

Why was the kid doing pushups?

Why were kids wandering around? Sitting near the blackboard without a desk? Was it just kids goofing off because the teacher was not in the room?

PushUps:  disciplinary measures...
No teacher present...
Perhaps someone more recent can explain the green...
