Math Sucks

I know that it seems all I do is complain and vent on this blog lately and for that I apologize but I need to get this out so I don't freak out.

I hate my tenth grade honors geometry teacher. He completely screwed me over. I believe that teachers are supposed to nurture their studetn's learning and help them when they struggle - especially when they fail. Instead my teacher told me that I wasn't trying - and when I went for help - either wan't there or didn't give me other ways to understand the problems. He even told my parent's that I never asked for help and that I didn't try in his class and that's why I was doing so poorly. The opposite was true and I ended up getting in trouble with the parents. From then on math and I never had a good relationship. I had terrible nightmares about failing the class. After I finally did pass the class I never took another regular math class - did take stats but that's a different type of math.

Basicallly today I had to do geometery in my college level math class and that confusion and helpless feeling came right back... I dont' know. I just don't konw how I'm going to hold it together this unit if I don't even get the basics... I guess I will just have to wait and see...

Well off to take my math test - hopefully this will go well so I have leeway with this next chapter.

Much Love and Hugs,
Chrissy
