#105 - Stacey the Maths Whiz

[dandelion]

I’m here today to snark Stacey the Maths Whiz. This is my first snark, and ironically, this was one of the very last books published in the UK. I did picture the UK editors saying “we can’t carry on with this series, I don’t understand any of this. What’s a Mathlete and how do I justify that to my spellchecker? Why are seven year olds taking part

Wait, Claudia is failing Home Ec? How do you fail Home Ec?

and I find it odd that a junior high mathletics team gets more fuss than my high school quiz team that made it to nationals one year.

Every time a BSC member does something, the whole world turns out to see it. Look at how the whole school turned up for Mallory's Saturday morning writing contest thing in Mallory On Strike.

You'd think Home Ec would be a class she could pass with flying colors.

But, being Claud, she has to suck in any subject that isn't art.

She'd probably flunk music too.

Yes, but a big part of home ec is sewing, which Claudia has proven herself capable of. I'm going to pretend she failed because she insisted on adding sequins and stuff to everything instead of working with the assigned design.

Apparently home economics involves interior design, sewing, cooking, nutrition, money management.... those seem like Claud's weak areas, especially the last three. :P

It's late, but congratulations on making it to nationals!
