“The apple doesn’t fall far from the dickhead” a truly beautiful quote which will change the world Edit: how tf did this post get 7k likes, I literally copied what the video creator said 😂
The best part about the ending is that the principal proves that he knows 2+2=4, meaning that he's not as stupid as the parents, but is simply caving in to the parents' demands. It's a cautionary tale of how education ought to run and what happens when we give power to anti-empiricism.
That shows us the reality of US woke culture. Oh and also Christianity itself. 1+1+1=3. Trinity is BS. God should be one. That trinity thing is destroying your logic. And also God no need to have kid and cant reproduce. GOD JUST CREATE STUFF. NOT BREED. The hell is that "jesus is son of god" 🤣😂 GOD IS 1 AND WITH MANY HELPERS THAT WE CALL THEM 'ANGELS". Imagine a genius man that have many robots and programs to run his house. It's something like that. But God can create anything. Even space and time. For atheists, they cant explain the space-time creation btw. It's either you believe in 1 God or you become atheist. There is no inbetween. You all that against me, are the characters that depicted in the movie that against that teacher. "free thinker" my arse. It's your logic that broken! To be free thinker, one must have some basic logic, manners, moral, and stuff. That's the base. If they dont have, then they're just delusional dumb people. Edit: glad that this movie exists 😅. To show the world that so many people are actually like those people that against the teacher. Bunch of dumb people. WITHOUT saying it literally.
@@marvenlunn6086Throughout the movie the teacher was being ridiculed for saying 2+2=4. By the end he proved them wrong because now the principle finally admits 2+2=4 after firing her so he tricked him into paying her more by using his views.
@Nowsh1nyes but it would have been smarter for her to say they owe her 20002000 cuz by their logic 2000+2000 should equal that cuz they simply combine the two numbers together
Not really, the math changes when larger numbers are added. Example smaller numbers (like 2+2) are just put next to each other, the larger numbers (anything over 9) are not used the same way. In the new math they can have any, and all (or none) possibilities. hahaha - sure... LoL
""It's hard to argue to a person who is very smart, but it's impossible to argue to a person who's an idiot they will dumb you down to their level and beat you with experience" that's my favorite quote
No? If a parallel universe existed it would be different, as it wouldn't have the same laws of physics and knowledge. Something like 2+2 is 4 can be applied in real life but in another hypothetical universe it would be definitely be different
Seeing Mrs. Wells joyfully turning this way of thinking who ruined her life against the principal was so hilariously satisfying. Loved this short but effective story.
@@psypherul1171 The reason math is so hard like this is because 0’s can’t exist, if 2+2 was to equal 22 then the thought of there even Being a digit place/ a separation between 220,000,000 and .0000022 is nothing, so acctualy the real answer to the 2000+2000 is also 22
I'm gonna say it, *_There are only male(XY Chromosomes) and female(XX Chromosomes)_* Facts are facts regardless of opinion. *Edit:* Intersex is an externality but that doesn't mean that person doesn't have dominant chromosome that biologically indicates whether that person is a female or male (XXy) etc. *Edit 2:* idc about your gender, you can call yourself anything on the LGBTQQIA++ but your sex cannot be changed because it's ingrained in your genes.
@@N____er A lot of people younger then gen x are offended easily an believe easily, and a lot of people older then gen x know this and take advantage and say opinions instead of facts and people believe them and then others are peer pressured into the same beliefs and it all spirals into a world full of opinions instead of facts

Idiocracy could be happening now. The film's example is unrealistic of course, BUT we can have a realistic example for the same plot I believe I think a more realistic version of this is whether or not squares should be considered as rectangles. It's confusing for kids but if that's what we're gonna teach them in highschool, then that's what we should teach them now. Hence, in a diagram/an image/whatever containing 1 square and 3 non-square rectangles (that don't overlap and that aren't merged or anything) the student should say there are 4 rectangles in the diagram instead of just 3. And should squares count as rectangles? Yes. There are some laws that mandate that the shape of certain things be rectangular. Surely we don't expect these laws to have anything against such things that look squarish right? (It's not like the laws would have anything against rectangles with length so close to its width...)

lol i just saw the exact same quote attributed to Bill Murray in a different comment. don't know which one of you two is right, but either way it's kind of ironic
this entire time, I was getting increasingly frustrated at the fact (heh) that everyone seemed to side with the kid, until... "The salary rounds up to $2000 for the last month, and $2000 for this one. The principal says that is $4000 in total, but at last, Mrs. Wells claps back, and claims it is actually $22,000" most satisfying ending I've ever seen to a movie, or any story in general
This seems like a documentary of how some parents act today. Lesson - If anyone ever tells me that 2+2=22, I'll gladly accept, because then I can demand 22k from them. Lesson 2- Apple doesn't fall far from the dickhead.
1:02 I think the answer is 9 because 8 = 56, 8 x 7 = 56 7 = 42, 7 x 6 = 42 6 = 30, 6 x 5 = 30 5 = 20, 5 x 4 = 20 So that means 3 = 9 because 3 x 2 is 9 Basically they just multiplied the a lower number than the current number *(This is just MY theory, I don't know if this is right or wrong)*
the real answer is 9... observe 8*7 = 55 7*6 = 42 6*5 = 30 5*4 = 20 (3*3 = 9)....left side doesnt matter as its given in Q and we have to find right side number, they dint put number 4 doesnt mean that its missing, it just to create confusion. and if u wonder who am i to say this, i cleared jee mains and i am an IItian. its exam based on maths so this kinda question we used to solve in 7-8 grade. its not big deal for us. for more info u can google it@@TrollFaceHmm

The pain and frustration I felt when seeing how the world treated the poor teacher AND THE GODDAMN SATISFACTION THAT BLEW ME UP WHEN SHE SAID $22000 KEK
As someone who doesn't like math, i am very grateful that math doesn't change as per countries. just imagine travelling to a country and you have to start learning from the basic numericals!! 😩 Thankyou for 55000 likes!😂
I was thinking the same thing about time. The French when making metric mesurment, almost make one for time. They wanted a day to have 10h and 100mins. Good we have an unversal way to tell time
This would've gone just fine if for every answer the kids gave at the beginning, the same concept was used for their school fees. For example, if the tuition fees were 200 and the additional fees 200, just ask the boy's parents for 200200 dollars coz that's how their son wants to calculate. Or if a pen costs 2 dollars and he buys two, get 22 dollars from him. Simple as that. And I'm glad that the ending was just like that.

if im not mistaken, ms. wells is entitled to $20,002,000 instead of $22,000 at the end of the movie, since 2000 + 2000 is added by just putting the numbers closer together based on this alternative universe's rules of addition. honestly, she deserves that much money for multiple reasons tbh
And the fact the principal actually said she needed to apologize to the parents for saying that, especially after the choice of words the parents used towards her. Like if that was me, I would’ve just straight up quit on the spot rather than work for someone who claimed that I’m the one to blame there.
The way she just calmly said "It's 22,000 dollars." was amazing. It was a very satisfying ending. Edit: OMG! I've never gotten 1.2k likes before!! Tysm you guys🥰🥰
This is crazy... I love it It is so satisfying when she uses their incorrect knowledge against them in the end (and if she REALLY wanted to nail the coffin shut with one fell swoop; she could’ve said “don’t you mean 20002000?” If it works like that in their idiotic views)
It annoys me how accurate this movie is to real life. I know many teachers who are told by the parents that they know better when they have no clue what the issue even in. And if that isn't real enough to this world the teachers are then asked to apologize for the parent's outburst!!!
love the throwback at the end. She was so tired of being told it was wrong, so, when it benefits her, she told him the "right" answer :p EDIT: OMG THANKS FOR THE LIKES! :O

I dont like math because if there was no math i would be getting a 80 percent average but instead i get a 52 percent average cause uhh im very mentally challenged in math and i wish 2 plus 2 equels 22
the short film looks cool but the moral is dubious. 1.on the one hand, the way it talks about bias seems like a criticism of conservatism (which is a good criticism from my point of view). 2. but on the other hand the way they say that everything can be discussed and from the facts to the protest seems like a criticism of progressism (which for me is a bad criticism). for example 1. the teacher is taught about a storic figure that over time people began to realize that the figure was bad but the parents think that the teacher is biased not that the figure was badly intentioned. 2. the teacher is taught about gender saying that she has only two and the child says that she does not have only two and parents and politicians say that this issue is under discussion and that she was a Nazi. for me, the film tends a lot towards the second option which, for me, makes it lose points. sorry for the english this is not my primary language actually i speak portuguese but i used google i hope your understanding
The principal walked right into that one, if she had said it was $4000 then it would have been seen as the school agreeing with her on how math worked, and if she had said otherwise, which she did, then he can’t say she’s wrong because then it would’ve been seen the school was taking her “stance”
@@arcticflames6932 Ya no kidding, the teacher was quite amazed that the world had changed in such a matter, it would be more appropriate if this was some twilight zone episode where she was taken to a different world rather than what we got
he makes jokes casually becuz he makes it all the time and am not even surprised by the fact that he is (quick reminder, not a teasing comment, just my thoughts, :D)
STOP DOING SHORTS. The films are already shorter than the recap. And all you are doing is taking views away from actual creators. Plus you don't even link people to where they can watch the short you vulture.
This reminds me of when I call my student's parents to inform them that their child was in a fight, and their first response isn't, "What, that's awful. Is everyone ok?!?!" It's, "So, did they win, or not?!?!" Edit: Based on the replies, it would seem I wasn't very clear about the situation, so..... 1. This has occurred with SEVERAL parents, not just one kid, one fight. 2. Most of these calls are about repeat offenders, so the parents are already well aware of their child's behavior. They just don't care enough to reprimand them, and work with me to put an end to it. 3. These are NOT bullied students. In fact, the majority are the bullies. Which, based on the parent's reaction, isn't all that surprising. 4. I realize this isn't exactly the same as what happens in this movie, my comparison is about how some parents refuse to acknowledge that their children have done anything wrong. Instead, doubling down on it, blaming everyone but themselves. *I don't necessarily think the parents are out of line for inquiring as to the outcome, as long as it comes from a place of love, and concern, as opposed to, "Hahaha, my kid is a bad ass, yours is a loser".
Depending on the child, that's an reasonable response. If I've gotten into a fight in the school, that'd be the first question my parents would've asked.

Add: 2+2=4, 2+3=5 Maybe the teacher was misunderstood because she didnt give a clear instruction what to do with the numbers. ”MATH TEST” wasnt simply enough
As a teacher myself, I can confirm that subtly, schools and parents are heading down this path. Give it 20 years and you will probably see this very debate 😂 More and more teachers are quitting
Considering parents sue teachers for giving their children an f on their exams, even though it’s the child’s fault. This movie is frighteningly accurate to society nowadays.

When my child was in first grade I went to the parent teacher conference. She showed me my daughter’s math workbook where it had 2 + 2. So my daughter wrote 4. The teacher said she needed to show her work and write l l +l l= l l l l. So the following week on a similar question my daughter wrote the answer and drew a stick figure of herself with an arrow pointing towards her brain. She didn’t need to show sticks on an answer she already knew. Luckily the teacher thought it was cute and gave her a good grade. It’s so similar because eleven plus eleven then would be one thousand, one hundred and eleven lol

Respecting others opinion is important, but realistically, the world is not just a bunch of opinions There are some facts in this world that you can’t just deny, like science and math It doesn’t matter if you think the world should work the way you want it to and just give in to what you think because it’s your opinion, realistically, it’s not going to work like that So, while you accept other people’s thoughts of how things should work, also remember that there are facts that just tell how the world would work, and you can’t alter it no matter how hard you try
Not saying you’re wrong, but just want to add that there a plenty of well known “scientific facts” that are actually just theories that have been proven through testing. The thing is, these “facts” will always have questions to be answered about them and new discoveries are made every day, so science isn’t exactly a stagnant field with only facts. Even units, like the kilogram, used to be changing because it was dependent on an existing object that did not constantly maintain the same mass over many years.

The thing is that after the scientific method became a standard new theories don't usually contradict in a fundamental way older ones, like it happened for example with the geocentric and heliocentric models, they just perfect them, Newton's laws of universal attraction perfected kepler laws, and General relativity perfected Newton's laws, but both Kepler and Newton's laws are still valid.

If parents think addition mean merging items and not adding quantities, then following that logic their son would be ineligible to be in school next year. Assuming he is 7 here, add a year according to their definition and he becomes 71. Which puts him out of range allowed to be studied and kindergarten.
Well only if the terms being added together are strings. If the variable x and y were declared as an integer and added together, the answer would be the sum not 'xy'.
If I were transported to a world similar to that, I would've gone absolute insane. Imagine being the smartest man alive and those people around you can't even add 2 + 2.
1:02 3 is equal to 6 if anyone was interested. Basically, the number you're multiplying is getting smaller by 1 each time. So it would be: 8 x 7 = 56 7 × 6 = 42 6 x 5 = 30 5 x 4 = 20 4 is skipped but it would be 4 x 3 = 12 Then 3 x 2 = 6
Except those types of questions shouldn't exist I understand that saying "8 = 56" is part of the question, but the notation just doesn't work 8 does not equal 56 Its just a stupidly formatted question 3 can be either 3 or 6, I guess
No, the answer is actually 0.69696969. If you pick the polynomial (x-0.1)(x-0.2)(x-0.69696969)(x-4)(x-20)(x-30)(x-42)(x-56) there are 8 answers (x=0.1,x=0.2,x=0.69696969,x=4,x=20,x=30,x=42,x=56). He is clearly referring to the K-th smallest term, so if it's 1 the answer would be 0.1, and if it's 2 the answer would be 0.2. Thus, considering the polynom, the answer is clearly 0.69696969. If you didn't get my point I'm basically saying that these sequence problems are stupid and you can justify anything with a clever use of polynoms.
