But in movies, that was the only way kids from the skreets learn maths.

Did you get this in a group email sent by your "crazy uncle" in 2003?

That teacher is going out on top...

FOX10 News did some research to try to find out where the test may have originated. What we discovered is that it apparently has a long history. Similar versions of the 10-question quiz have been turning up in classrooms across the country since the 1990s.
And, a lot of teachers have ended up in hot water over the test in several states including Texas, California, and New Mexico.
The Mobile County Public School System may be next on the list.

Seems legit actually. May have been a hoax years ago but some teacher in Mobile seems to have given this test to her students. Obviously the joke has not been well received.

I think the original was given in Chicago about 25 years ago. I remember news stories about it.

Yeah I mean no one would give this on their own creation, but even to do it as a joke with 8th graders is pretty stupid unless you're retiring at the end of the year. I mean it is outlandishly racist.

I don't see race mentioned in that quiz.

Who gives a test on May 31st?
