Well we got into the class and asked Mr. Max who had the better beard him or ponty he rambled something about a dog fight and spit out the word moot.
Moot: arguable: open to argument or debate; "that is a moot question
Next he told us we were not going to do mental math today. I guess that was a good thing. Then he showed us how to center our posts.
Applications of cubic functions: ticky mark = feet, two ticky marks = inches
We then went on to see how big of a volume we could get out of a 4 by 8 chunk of metal. So if we took off 6'' at a time the greatest volume we can get is 12 cubic feet.

Well, Goober, let us set a few things straight:
1. My intention with the word moot: of little or no practical value or meaning;
2. The purpose of the blog is help your peers (classmates) relate to what's being instructed. You, as the scribe, have the responsibility to post meaningful mathematics, and maybe more importantly, your interpretation of the meaningful mathematics discussed in class? Did you do that here? Are the thoughts you shared deep enough? Insightful enough? Explaining enough? I'm not saying that they aren't, just that you should do that when you create a post.
3. The rest of you (Goober's classmates) have the responsibility to interact with and assist him? Did he tell you what you needed to know? Do you understand what was covered in class as a result of what you see in this post? If yes, then tell him that his efforts were worthwhile. If no, then communicate your needs in a non-threatening, non-judgmental way to Goober, so that he can reflect and provide something more useful.
This last part is hard, but it's what makes blogging worthwhile as a classroom activity. As I said yesterday in class, no, I'm not an English teacher, but yes, I am a teacher. No this is not English class, but yes this is class.
