Q: What is the difference between math and meth?

A: One can make your life miserable and the other is a dangerous drug!

But seriously…Sahuaro is lucky to have math teachers who know their stuff.  The Paper Cut caught up with four math teachers for a little Q&A session.  They were: Mr. Davis, Mrs. Goodenow, Mr. Cutler, and Mrs. Stedmen. All of them have met interesting people, along with having important and diverse viewpoints of school, life, entertainment.
