Math Sub

We all love a substitute in school-especially in math. They're clueless, they let you do whatever you want, whenever you want. They always give you worksheets that have nothing to do with what your learning, and they're never checked by the teacher the next day. After you write your name on the paper, you've pretty much fulfilled your work for the day.

Today, we were all "working" on our worksheet when someone raised their hand and said, "Our teacher never taught us this." Our substitute peered at the paper, then turned to the white board. "I don't know if I can help you, I've never had to use this before."

Bam.

Worst thing to say in a high school. Ever.

"I'm definitely not doing this, then," Molly, the girl sitting next to me whispered. That's what everyone was thinking. Our teacher doesn't remember it? She's never had to use it? Fine then, we won't ever have to find the degree of a tangent line on a circle passing it's secant.
