A Good Question

Bill Cosby wonders why students don't practice algebra for hours:

Why can't students practice algebra for hours like teams practice sports?

That's what Bill Cosby asked a group of students at the Roger Putnam Vocational Technical High School yesterday.

And when freshman Kimya Thompson shouted that the subject was boring, Cosby, from Shelburne, brought her on stage.

He told her that if she and her peers didn't sharpen their academic skills, they'd be earning minimum wage.

Algebra goes on here at the PalmHouse for hours, but I don't think that's what he meant. ;-)
