A classroom scene under the title "Why I could never be a math teacher." A student raises their hand and asks, "Teacher! Will we ever use any of this algebra?" A bespectacled teacher holding papers replies, "You won't, but one of the smart kids might." Votey: a close-up of the smirking teacher saying, "Enjoy your career in business administration." The joke is the teacher bluntly insulting the asking student while implying only a few classmates have a worthwhile future.
