COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Mine just talks and talks until 2 minutes till the end of the lesson and writes 30 questions on the board and expects us to do them all. And to top it off, she stands in front o the board.

Then she wonders why we don't finish it all and threatens to give us bad reports etc

Teachers who have their backs to you, you throw things at.
Or i did.

Take Cheddar in and let him loose in the classroom!
That will make her move!!

I used to hate maths because of the teacher,
he made you feel really small and stupid if you got a question wrong.

Hi Lyn. Hope you're well.

I, on the other hand, had:

1) a wonderful and smart mathematics teacher and

2) a Dad who has a PhD Degree in mathematics. These two taught me one lovely thing about mathematics: "It is only a game with numbers and nothing that frightening." And it became my favourite subject.

Yeah, stamp on Cheddar!!!!!!
Bad plan.

Hmmm! Maybe throw a toy one near her on a some invisible thread instead then.

Hi Gillian
You were luckier than most then,
Hope you're OK too.

Or balance a big toy spider on the top of the board so it will fall on her -
I bet she will scream!
...especially if someone makes a point of saying they have lost their pet spider from its box!!

Biggest regret I have is that wifey started smoking because of me.
I love it though and won't give up, especially when people tell me to stop and the world is against it.
i'm an idiot, too!

My fiancé is an ex smoker but he stopped before I met him. He is one of the really annoying ex smokers now lol
I don't see me ever giving up either. The truth is I enjoy it

 

[Lyn W]

I've just remembered I'm a teacher!
So forget all that!!

I like that one.
But don't be the one saying you lost your spider or you'll be for it.

 

[Gillian M]

I understand you and agree with you. it is not an easy subject, and not any teacher can teach it.

We should act more like responsible adults, i agree.

Oh yes. Here I certainly was lucky.

I Like maths too, but i struggled at school due to a succession of bad teachers.

 

[johnandjade]

That's depressing when you think of it like that,
You may be pleasantly surprised though - maybe a bonus!?

'blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall not be disappointed'


... im not a religious person, however i do think it's a good way to look at things, that way there is always a bonus

That's not as much fun though!
