Good Afternoon Cool Catz!
I'm here to talk about school. So in my math class I've been having some problems understanding everything. My teacher (not mentioning names) wants us to read the book ourselves and teach ourselves how to do math. I mean in the long run thats not a bad idea, but seriously I'm a sophomore in high school and I actually want to be taught how to do things!!! Example, we're having a Chapter Test on the 3rd chapter in our book, and instead of reviewing, we have to jump to chapter four and read two chapters from there and do two pages of homework! I mean and all she teaches us really is what we're doing wrong, like after we correct assignment she has us tell her the problems we have trouble on and she shows us how to do those and not anything else! I mean I want her to seriously teach me a whole chapter in my math book! I've been having to teach myself and I'm not doing so hot. And she wants us to ask her for help and we do it's just that when she explains it turns into this whole analogy that I don't understand and then the math goes away! I hate math seriously, and I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but seriously it says a lot about a teacher if most of the kids in her class are failing tests and we all have to re-test!!! I mean we should talk to her about it, but she should know!! And I hate sounding like a stupid kid that doesn't know and I am, but really I'm sick of teaching myself things I don't even know! And I hate being so frustrated and not understanding!!! And I seriously want to be done!!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!
PEACE!!!

Mel, i totally agree. I have her too and, teaching myself is not the way I want to learn! Like honestly why even have a math class we might as well just go home and read the book and be done.
