The light goes out because their teachers have no passion for the subject they teach. I love math, GOD gifted me with a tallent for teaching math. I'm nothing without GOD. I make it fun. I use rubber bands to teach logarithms. I use rubber bands to teach linear equations. I use rubber bands to teach quadratic equations. The world is an amazing environment full of math, you only have to open your eyes to see the math. I use rubber bands to teach ratio and proportion. Math Works? If you can't make what you teach fun, then don't teach.

I wish I had someone like you for math.

I was taking algebra for the first time. The class I had before my algebra class was swimming which was at the complete opposite end of the school. So I had 10 minutes to dry off, put my clothes back on and make a mad dash to algebra. I would usually arrive at class just after the bell rang which made me chronically tardy. The teacher made no bones about not liking me. I would raise my hand to ask a question and she would say, "What a stupid question. Any idiot would know the answer to that." I managed to get out of her class just a few weeks after catching a whiff of her hatred. But, all my desire to really learn algebra left me. I homeschooled my kids until they had to do algebra. I did not want any of my negativity to rub off on them.

You sound like a peach of a teacher.
