nice article,thanks Brendan, it's true for many teachers, your right divideby0. He asked me what I was going to do and i said i'll revise abit during class and go ahead to next years work. He said "I haven't done the methods 3+4 book for years, who will help you? I think you have done the wrong thing!"
That hurt me abit but it's the way he said it, and was talking to me infront of the class, putting me down, didn't even have the good manners to talk to me outside or after class, he makes methods class bad for me now. Went from my favourite class to almost my least fav. Just so annoying.
I am the first to admit I am no genius as others in the class got the impression, I just love math, understand it, I may not be the best in class but unlike the others I am willing to learn new topics instead of parting and killing brain cells.
ice_blockie- at the end of unit 1 my methods class was under 10- (this is unit 1 +2 by the way) and for unit 2 i got put into another class, we had not met previous to this, our first class was about rates of change, he was waliking around and saw i had completed it already and had a look at my book, he the looked surprised and the later on called me up the front of the class to basically disrespect me and put me down IN FRONT OF THE CLASS, not very professional. Our first meeting was terrible, he still pays almost no attention to me, but expects me to do every single question in class again, that's why i hate methods class.
