#105 - Stacey the Maths Whiz

Apr 21, 2012 20:55

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 ( Read more... )

I can see why Claud worked as a tutor-- she could speak to Lindsey at her level. Or maybe she learned how not to teach from Janine, who must have waxed poetic about minuends and subtrahends and gotten a major deer-in-the-headlights look from poor Claudia.

I'm skeptical that every single person in the 'Brook drops what they're doing to watch a bunch of thirteen-year-olds solve math problems. Wouldn't they be more inclined to watch that wrestling match next door? Now, if the high school football or basketball team were to make it to state finals, THAT would have been a big deal. That sort of turnout for a middle-school quiz bowl competition would be parents and close friends at best. (I can attest as our state's parochial schools had these annual math and spelling competitions, and having made it to state finals and placing every year, no one attended (or cared) but the parents. XD)

“Everything about [Abby] is funny. Take her hair.”--Way to be a huge bitch, Stacey. Looking at the covers, I really don't see anything wrong with Abby's hair. However, I'm surprised MALLORY wasn't the one to get the "funny hair" insult.

God knows dinner with Dawn probably would have tested the rule on no homicide at the dinner table.
--lol, absolutely!

and when Kristy in particular won't shut up about how hideously nerdy they are. --Okay, stereotypical nerds talking about math all the time versus you cool girls talking about kids all the time? Yeah, sure.

Stacey rescues the team from a hideously embarrassing loss, and sets up possibly one of the most cringeworthy images in BSC history by arranging for her socially inept Mathlete friends to have dinner with her socially inept BSC friends to celebrate - without her.--And this one event where both sides stayed on opposite sides of the room.
