Default What teaching is all about; The Perfect O

Notice how this math teacher uses his shoulder to arm joint as the axis of rotation...

OK come on fellas. That was pretty incredible. Have you ever tried to draw a perfect circle freehand?

OK Kev.
Please grab a paper and pencil and attempt to draw a perfect circle (oh no dont you dare pull out that compass from your pocket protector). Have you any idea how long I have been trying that on my white board in my class? We discuss circular motion every year, I have drawn at the very least, thousands of circles, and only one was close to perfect (not even close to that guy's on the Utube). The students were stunned at my attempt. I went home and told my neighbors.

And you think a hole in one is difficult. I draw more circles in one day than Tiger woods hits at par 3's in several tournaments. And I bet he has hit a hole in one. But I guarantee he has never drawn a perfect circle.

Let us get our feats of brilliance in order here for Gods sake.

I hate to tell you this, but it's a scam....if you click into the other videos with the same tag they are all the same, just different actors. they all said the thing about the Masters and the students all said the same thing when the "teacher" waived his hands to dry the board off. All of them had missed the previous year's competition for some strange reason.
