Charlie's math teacher is terrible at math


I'm terrible at math and I can easily work out what percentage 2 of 1000 is. Charlie's math teacher can't do it, and he's supposed to have a math degree.

The joke is his knowledge of maths is limited unless you ask him a certain maths question.

I would venture Charlies teacher is terrible at every subject. The man's a blazing moron.

We have to show the world that not all of us are like him: Henning von Tresckow.

Agreed.

You're talking about the same moron who decided it was a good idea to switch the Friday tests, on the weeks learning to Monday's before they learn it. LMAO at how he explained it like it was the most logical concept. How hard was switching it to Monday to give them the weekend to study?

Hilarious

That scene always annoyed me, even as a child. It was just completely inane.
