A math teacher has two class friends from his own schooltime. One was a brilliant student and would certainly succeed in life. However his current job is rather modest and he doesn't have a high income. The other one was the dumbest kid the school had ever seen. But yet he is very rich now. During their last class reunion, the teacher asked him what his secret was. "Oh, that's easy, I own a restaurant. I buy steaks for one euro per piece and sell them for four euros. That way I always make a 3% profit."

I am proud to have had a maths teacher. Not a modern day math teacher. I guess they teach less nowadays! The three 'R's. What's that all about? Reading, writing and arithmetic. To me that's RWA. Why couldn't they coin the phrase RWA, as it's a lot shorter than saying 'the three 'R's? It must have been worded my some education minister who had a math teacher! 😛

hey, I'll stop saying "the three R's" when the Brits stop saying "maths".

How about WAR for short 🙂 Imagine going into your first class as a little kid and being told they're going to teach you all about WAR 🙂
