Prep Schools

These interesting situations in which generics play a key role in interactional pragmatics sparked my memory of solid geometry and spherical trigonometry class at Stuyvesant High School in the early 1960s. Each morning our instructor, the somewhat irascible Mr. Burns, would start off by asking a question on the day's material, calling for a response by ‘[student surname]’. Stuyvesant, in those days an all-male institution, functioned, like prep schools, on a surname basis for both reference and address; the teachers’ names were prefaced by Mr. or Mrs. or Miss, while student names had no prefixed title.

I am grateful to both Dr Ponsonby and Sqn Ldr Hoare for their responses to my original article and would like to thank them for replying. It is interesting that they have come up with such different approaches, one based on solid geometry (but not spherical trigonometry) and the other based on a map projection, which both give exact or near-exact answers.

Intermediate Algebra

Elementary algebra, plane geometry, intermediate algebra, plane and spherical trigonometry, solid geometry, and advanced algebra are all being studied in the same room at the same time. Sounds something like a one-room country school, doesn't it? This is being done by a group of mentally superior pupils in two ungraded classes (taught by the writer) at Monroe High School.
