Just a thoug... Liked Liegh's comment above. <br /> Just a thought: Develop a math-student cadre. Yeah kinda sneaky, but recruit those kids in the back to teach math, they like it and you know it's beautiful, dynamite combination. Hell I have no idea how to do this recruiting but I bet you do. Some of those kids in the back, as you imply are there for reasons other than learning math. Some of them just to get farther away from you, (you are after all Ms. Math.) Some because they are more comfortable with peers. Some because there’s a cute girl (or guy) back there. Who cares why, as long as they get more than they bargained for, in the best possible way I mean?<br /> Most of the kids in the back (hopefully) are there because they get it, and when you “get it” you want to share it.<br /> I think one good thing to do might be to let those whiz-kids know that you have their backs when questions come up. You know, we learn the most while teaching.<br /> Love ya girl, you doin good.<br /><br />wljenningsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2224377501657529009.post-42662949087228035172012-11-05T06:40:38.558-07:002012-11-05T06:40:38.558-07:00I wish my math teachers had done something like th...I wish my math teachers had done something like this. I was aces until eighth grade and then I fell behind. I can't help but feel that if my teachers had taken more time with the kids that needed help instead of just trying to get through the lesson, I might not suck so hard at everything past prealgebra. And, contrary to what kids think, you DO use this stuff after graduation.Leighhttp://www.leighteale.com/noreply@blogger.com
