[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Truthfully I don't even remember those days.  They are hazy at this point (I'm 42).  I do remember one mean girl, but she was mean to pretty much everyone, so I wasn't singled out.

What I'm most angry about is feeling stupid all these years about my inability to do well at math during that time (Algebra II and Geometry). When I got to college I was automatically placed in a remedial math class with all the basketball players.  I recently came to the realization that it wasn't me (I was an A/B student in all of my other subjects), but my math teachers' incompetence.   [/quote]

ALL of your math teachers were incompetent?  I'm thinking that you are just not good at math and have an issue admitting it!

No, just the ones in higher math (two, to be exact).  I was fine and understood mathematics until I got there.  I tried, really I did, but there was support whatsoever.  And your supposition was what I believed all along, until I really thought about it and realized they sucked.  [/quote]

If you think Algebra II and Geometry are higher math than you are NOT good at math.  I'm really not trying to be mean.  Most of us, including myself, aren't good at everything but we don't blame others.[/quote]
