Moriarty teacher in hot water for mixing math, meth

The principal at Moriarty High School says one of the school’s teachers “made a misjudgment” when he incorporated a fictional methamphetamine dealer into an algebra test.

Teacher Will Klundt’s question reads: “Smoky J. sells meth. Smoky’s source says he has to sell a G’s worth of meth by the end of the month. If Smoky sold $245 the first week and $532 the second week, how much money must Smoky still make if he wants to avoid the beat down from his connection?”

“It’s bad enough as it is,” said Moriarty resident Cindy Meech. “All that stuff is in the schools and all that stuff goes on but I don’t think they need to make it worse then it already is, and I think that is kind of what [the test question] does.”

Klundt has been out of town since questions about his question surfaced, but the principal of his school says that he has talked to Klundt about the poor choice he made.

“He’s a hard working member of the staff and this is not the norm,” said principal Wayne Marshall, who adds that Klundt is a good teacher who tries different methods.

“This is a fine young man who made a misjudgment,” said Marshall. “And he understands that and he’s better for it.”

Marshall refused to discuss what, if any, disciplinary action will be or has been taken against Klundt.
 
wow that sucks, maybe he should have just said smokey wants to sell books or something :P he should have quite the suprise when he gets back :lol:
 
What I find hard to believe is that the question was on a High School Algebra test! That's grade school math. No matter how you ask the question, it's simple subtraction. I'd think a fourth grader should be able to solve that problem.

I say give him a drug test and if he passes the test don't let him teach home Eq.
