(Different tests, same concepts.) The point was you could learn and you could get a great grade if you worked for it. That's the best approach to education I think I've ever seen.Linda Medranohttp://thegoodthebadtheworse.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904287205964455973.post-78115268596356678942011-02-17T11:42:43.600-08:002011-02-17T11:42:43.600-08:00A treasure - my niece is in her final grad school ...A treasure - my niece is in her final grad school semester and will be looking for a teaching job soon.

Guess he figured it was better to play to the ones who were paying attention. Sadly, he didn't show the caring and concern your math teacher did. <br /><br />Some of my favorite teachers, though, were the ones who were the toughest... the ones who expected me to THINK!http://howtobecomeacatladywithoutthecats.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02888838201074339916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904287205964455973.post-54638034474441180112011-02-17T06:33:37.526-08:002011-02-17T06:33:37.526-08:00Sounds like Mr. Garland was pretty cool.

Our Algebra teacher knew her subject matter, but didn't have the best of teaching skills, and I was too shy (and lazy, really) to do much about it. I managed to pick up some of the concepts, but really just floated by.Tony Geisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06396197247428410390noreply@blogger.com
