Am sithin' mad

You will never need to know algebra. I have never once used it and never once even rued that I could not use it.

Yeah, right. I'm a moron so it's not a big deal for everyone to be the same kind of a moron I am.

Why do I complain, though? As long as people are thinking something like that I'll have some means to pay my bills, after they come to me crying, unable to pass 'this damn class that is, o horror, required to get a diploma'.

You'll never need math. Yeah, right. Listen to him, girl, the country needs more cheap workers to do unqualified jobs.

Sometimes it is just that the teacher's style of learning doesn't match the students. A teacher who thinks in pictures, for example, may not be able to teach a student who thinks in words.

I had that problem with Statistics in studying mutiple regression. I had a teacher who visualized how it worked and tried to explain that way. I had to take most of that classs to my previous stat teacher who taught me Analysis of Variance and who could use words and logic to explain it to me.

I usually do both, if I think the student is not getting it. Thankfully, I'm not teaching anything beyond intermediate level.
