County 2009 STAR test geometry scores. Advanced is higher than Proficient. We just went back and
took an older test. It purports to assess logic and geometric proofs; volume and area; angles, lines
and constructions; and trigonometry. What's so great about geometry? Well, it is universal: proofs
and theorems are the same from the poles to the Equator. With the possible exception of
Zoroastrianism (still reading through the Avestas and various Pahlavi texts) all major religions
use geometry. Rather than risk infuriating any Zoroastrian terrorists we will follow ancestral Irish
and French traditions and claim that Vikings were miserable at geometry: A furore Normannorum,
libera nos Domine — ‘From the fury of the Norsemen, O Lord, deliver us!” We appreciate that this
prayer has recently been altered slightly to reference Icelandic banks like Kaupthing, Landsbanki
and Glitnir as well as Eyjafjallajokull volcano.
