It's always a special day when you find out that the assistant coach for basketball has a master's degree but can't read and can't do basic addition. How did I come to learn this? Well, here in the county we firmly believe in pushing all of our staff members to get certified. This means that everybody must at least attempt the praxis each year if you are not already certified.
For the past few years our beloved assistant coach has been signing up to take the praxis but has never actually taken the test more than one time. Since the county is so wonderful, they think that this person has taken the test each time, so in their books the assistant coach is making every effort to pass the praxis. According to my source, the real reason this person hasn't been attempting to take the exam is because he/she can't read.
As the assistant coach for basketball, you're responsible for keeping stats during the game. Since my magnanimity and beneficence are boundless, I offered to send the game stats to the local newspaper, but I noticed a few discrepancies when I looked over the point totals.
Our team's total points = 67
1st quarter: 17 points + 2nd quarter: 8 points + 3rd quarter: 19 points + 4th quarter: 20 points = 64
Point totals for each player = 11+7+8+16+17+5+1 = 65
Opponent's total points = 46
1st quarter: 10 points + 2nd quarter: 15 points + 3rd quarter: 13 points + 4th quarter: 15 points = 53
Point totals for each player = 2+2+1+23+23 = 51
I have thus concluded that someone can't count, and this someone happens to have a master's degree.
The struggle is real.
