LOL!
My mother had the opposite experience. She hated her high school math teacher so much that she never took higher math.
Me, I loved physics...didn't care for most other math above Algebra.
Well, I only liked Calculus because the Physics teacher taught it in the same practical way as physics. His test questions would have these long story problems of him fishing in a boat drifting in x direction with the tide current going y mph, and the 300 pound fish would pull in z direction with this much force. That was just the meat and bones of it, the rest of the question was this long funny essay about what the day was like, what he had for lunch, the joys of fishing, and the punch line would be that we'd have to figure out how far off course the fish dragged him, and whether he'd be able to motor home in time for dinner.
