Should I accept this geometry proof or make her do the lesson over?

The answer she gave me was:

"DB is or isn't the median to side AC - Duh, Assume it is"

:smilielol5:

Yeah, I don't think that is quite the answer we are looking for, do you?

Try writing that answer on a college quiz. I am sure that would go over like a lead balloon.

Okay, back to grading papers!

See my post below regarding "Oldest daughter and math---again"

I have the same problems with my daughter. Can you post the full question, and some of our wonderful math moms can chime in?

[Kelli in TN]

Oh, I was totally joking! Of course it's wrong.

I was just blown away that she actually wrote "duh, assume it is" for a proof.

Perhaps a bit of hormones or something on Friday when she did this assignment?

Anyway, she is not usually so snarky, so I got a good laugh out of it.:D

Funny...I got that kind of attitude from my ds when we were going over proofs! Teenagers! Gotta love 'em!
