It’s okay to be politically correct.

Even in school. It’s cooler to be politically INcorrect, of course. And teachers never are. They have unions and pensions, and toe the line.

For Illustration Friday, topic: Lesson.

I hope the kid in this cartoon learns the lesson that it’s okay to make a mistake, but it’s better to be mathematically correct.

Cartoon caption: Student and teacher look at chalkboard where kid has just written 3 plus 5 equals 7. Title: Mathematically Incorrect.

Interpretation: Obviously the title is a takeoff on the overused, and misused phrase, “politically incorrect.”
