honestly tho mdogg, how u a teacher and your spelling on some elano type shit?
mdoggy was prolly just a tutor or somethin...maybe an emergency substitute. im sure he can do a better job teaching math than most the douchebags i've dealt with through schooling.

After school program called Upward Bound actually. It's a federal government program which works with kids on their basic skills and tries to get them into college. Let's put it this way, I basically had to throw out everything a student knows and start over with their math skills. If there is one thing today's kids can't do, it's basic fuckin' math! It was actually really sad. I also did a summer program which focused on college trips and kids doing basic math some more. I mean, kids can't do fractions, they can't do decimals, and they have no idea what a ratio was. But at the end of the day, when I finished with a kid in their Jr. year, those kids were scoring HIGH in the ACT Math test. I had one kid go from a 18 in the ACT math part, to a 25! That's HUGE jump if you know anything about those test. After this experience, I am a big believer that schools should make students take statistics next to math. I had to frame everything into real life for these kids in order for them to "get it." Like I'd go into the Sunday ads and use sales to teach percentages, or I'd take house listings and current mortgage rates to have students figure out their monthly payments as part of learning about interest. Car payments, gas prices with that little 9/10th at the end, and everything else. It worked though for the students I did work with. So basically I came in for history, and they saw I went up to Calc II and threw me in math. And for what it's worth, we have a huge math problem in the schools. If a kid can't do fractions and decimals, how can they do geometry and algebra like we expect.Now in college I use to be a tutor. I tutored calculus I.
