Who ever said Maths teachers had to be boring !

From a standpoint of mathematical probability and sound business planning, it would seem an enterprise doomed to failure. Create an image of four high school math teachers, print it on a t-shirt, mass produce them, and sell them to students for a profit.

Apparently, nobody told Perham High School math teachers Kyle Knutson, John Gullingsrud, Diana Porath and Jeff Morris that students really don’t like math. And as a grim, but inevitable, consequence–students really don’t much like those who teach math, either… Inexplicably, within 24 hours after the 120 t-shirts went on the market, the merchandise was nearly sold out.

“We’re down to about 45 shirts,” said Morris, a cross country and track coach. He’s a highly popular guy–in spite of his fondness for algebra.

The t-shirts are printed with caricatures of the PHS Yellow Jacket math department faculty members.
