No more math!!!!!

Summer Break just started and it already feels like a month.





One good thing of summer is no more math teachers. You have no idea how happy that makes me.





I think its a typical stereotype that math teachers are old lady's who are evil and cast spells on trouble makers...this year my math teacher was like this, just minus the spells. We had a quiz every week, at least once. Sometimes we even had it twice. Once in a blue moon we never had homework...unless you include studying.





Her class was the hardest class I have ever been in. We did at least two lessons per day and never went back on them until the day before the test. She did have tutoring, but they started at 7:30 and its very hard to try to get there on time, thanks to that stupid traffic light. And when you did get there, she already went over the thing that you needed help on.Thank goodness I was in first period. If I was in seventh period, I would of forgot everything that I learned during the tutoring session.





In the beginning of the year, it was rare that I got a B on the quiz/test. But later on in the year, I started making better grades. My goal for the whole time I am in that school was to get a 4.0 every year. And this year I was so close!! But obviously she couldn't let that happen. I needed to make a 98 for the fourth nine-weeks so I could get an A in math and get that 4.0 that I worked hard for. When she told us our final grades, I was so mad. For the full year in that advanced math class, I made a 93.45. And she wouldn't give me any help so I could get five-hundredths of a point to get my perfect 4.0. That strega....

The only time I ever had trouble with math was when I had a poor teacher. I've found that an EXCELLENT math teacher can make a world of difference. I am sad to say I can't remember the name of the best math teacher ever, but she taught Algebra in 1989 at Salem High School. She was a weekly quizzer too, but everything she taught always made sense!

Yeah the teachers do count...last year my math teacher was way nice (nothing like the superstition) and I made straight A's. And your right that an excellent teacher makes a world of difference!
