.................MOMMY, MOMMY................

The teacher said  6+3=7
and then he wrote it on the board.

Mother was shocked and reported the teacher to the Principal. The teacher was called into the Principal’s office to be given a lecture on the dangers of disseminating disinformation to impressionable young minds. The principal threatened disciplinary action against the teacher who admitted to having spoken and written the exact statement he was accused of. The teacher enjoyed the lecture. Upon its completion, he apologized.
"Sir, I am most sorry for a glaring omission. The complete text of what I said to the class–and what I wrote on the board–was 6+3=7+2 demonstrating that different numbers can add up to the same thing. Then a student said ‘That’s fine. Both pairs add up to nine!’ And the pleasure was mine.”
