Homeschooling, Shaken Not Stirred

How to teach Math.
This is how I homeschool, with shot glasses and pill bottles.


Were there pennies or Gin in those glasses?
It's a math lesson. How many shots can a 5 year old drink before she can't drive anymore? It's very advanced math that involves fractions. For example, if your shot has 1/3 orange juice and 1/3 pineapple juice, how much vodka will you need to complete your shot?
If the student gets it right, they get to take the shot. It's a reward method of teaching that works amazingly for children.
For those of you who are concerned by my methods, let me take a moment to explain my homeschooling philosophy. It is my goal to prepare my children for higher education. I feel that introducing them to drinking games in Kindergarten is a distinct advantage.

Math with shot glasses
Now before Social Services and the Police are knocking on my door, let me say that even though she handled her liquor very well, I still didn't let her drive, so you can relax.

My child can't actually do fractions yet so only the teacher got her drink on. Or we might have just counted pennies. Whatever.
