good teachers are good teachers despite their “credentials”.
The only reason I made it through math during school is because I’m the daughter of an electrical engineer.
I only had 2 competent math teachers prior to my college years.
Thanks dad!
I had NO good math teachers in any school I attended.
It was my mom and dad who taught me addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They used the round cardboard caps that were lids on glass milk bottles.
Later it was my mother and father who taught me fractions, decimals, and percentages.
I taught **myself** the rest though using the textbooks and working the problems on my own. I certainly didn’t learn anything in class. The classes were forever either too slow and mind numbingly boring, or far too advanced for me and therefore also mind numbingly boring. It was a very rare day that the class matched my ability.
