[quote=Anonymous]My junior high math teacher was excellent. He had a way of teaching that made things fun and inspired us. Example: One day, he took $100 from his pocket and said, "I want you to organize a hot dog business for one day at lunch time. I will not assist. If you turn a profit, we'll use it to throw ourselves a pizza party." Then we talked about the lessons learned in running a business. He made us do our biorhythms before math contests and gave us "magic pencils" that had been used by every math team from our school for decades. We were the best junior high math team in the state, and it was only a middling public school. [/quote]
