Math isn't a problem

Here in my place our school will open this coming September 7, 2010 I don't know if this schedule is also the same schedule to all the schools all over the country. I know for some parents that they can't wait to send their children to school haha and for some kids they can't wait to go back to school they are already bored to death confined inside the house. I remember in my school days every time the school year starts I am so excited because I am going to have a new bag, notebooks and other things that I need in school. Not knowing that as year progress the subject most specially about math is also getting harder and harder ^_^

 

It was when I entered middle school and high school that I found out that I am not good in math. Nobody in our household that I could asked about my Algebra 1 and Algebra 2. As in like every day is a struggle for me I knew that deep down inside of me I can learned and do math answers like every body else. And every time our teacher will have an assignment for us I have a hard time with it, and I get envious watching at my classmates the next day comparing their answers and discussing how they got the answers. And when I listened to them and find out what is their answer to the problem and mine is not the same as them I get panic!! That was an experienced I don't want to remember it's like a trauma to me ^_^.

Fortunately, in this time and generation where everybody has a connection with the internet. Everything is laid for everybody to discover that online tutoring is born. Yes oh yes!! Everybody has to know it that math isn't a problem anymore, if I had this privilege growing up I would not end up hating math hahaha! For me it is a liberating feeling for parents as well as the students too. Aside from the math that is the hardest for me two subjects that make K12 and college cringe are the Chemistry and Statistics. I remember last school year my DH granddaughter asked her mom to get Chemistry help and Statistics help, I knew that feeling when you get desperate, but you know you wanted to learned but don't know where to get it? Thankfully, the mom is smart enough to get free math tutoring online and it ended up the friction in the family ^_^

Algebra on a run..

I so love to hear stories of people who love math lol!  I meet this girl who happened to LOVE math as I like recess time ^_^. I already had a job at time as an accounting clerk and she was in her 3rd year Bachelor of Science in Education major in Math, duh!! I had so many questions about math specially Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 .  She told me that math is just like learning English I told her are you not kidding me? And she said yes, she taught me one technique on how to multiply number with a lot of zeros and I got it right away. I also asked her if our teacher is the one who is the culprit why many kids don't like math. And she says yes! My eyes popped out because I knew before since high school that some of our teachers are mean they don't like to help Algebra 1 problems and Algebra 2 problems to be answered by their students and I could attest to that. One time we had this transferee kid and he happens to be very smart in Math. He can correct our Math teacher his method in solving the problem. Our Algebra teacher like the hard way while my classmate solved it the simplest way.  Since then our Math teacher has a way of explaining Algebra but still he remains a terror to us. 

I graduated high school 1982 and geez that is a long time. I was thinking if I get back to school and knowing that there will be a math subject in the course I am going to take,can I make it? My step-daughter who is back in school told me that there is no problem in those area because there is an  Algebra 1 help and Algebra 2 help I could find if I really wanted it.  And she continued to say  that it is just easy because now the teaching method is different and  we can find Algebra 1 answers and Algebra 2 answers any time I so want. Well I am thinking about it for so many months now I so like to go back to school in order to land a good paying job. Crossing my fingers in this matter!! ^_^
