i think the evidence would suggest that the child's work was in fact rather pathetic.

and, i might expand on the point by suggesting that the idea of firing or disciplining the teacher for pointing it out is also deeply pathetic.

we would be left with the conclusion that the people of pennsylvania are, all around, fairly pathetic - they send their kids to school unprepared and ignorant, then try to fire the teachers when they get evaluated. it's pretty sad, indeed.

but, we can leave pennsylvania in a state of blissful ignorance if it insists.

those jobs will just go to china, instead - where they actually teach their kids math.
