I even tried to write some stories. which thats another story, and the ones that hate math?? they are good in English
Psychomomquilter, you are so right. I remember teachers saying "if you have a question, don't be afraid to ask." Then, when asked a question, ask why you weren't paying attention. I also remember doing homework and my mother telling me to "look it up in the Encyclopedia." Did anyone else ever have to look up math instructions in the encyclopedia? No wonder I still have a mental block when it comes to math. I also did much better in English - hope the English police aren't watching me now. lol
Psychomomquilter, keep working on those stories. You could be the next Harry Potter type author. :-)
