Struggled with Algebra I,...I was just the opposite. Struggled with Algebra I, and almost didn't sign up for Geometry the next year because of it. My guidance counselor talked me into it, and it turned out I was a whiz at Geometry! It was so logical to me. So I made the "mistake" of signing up for Algebra II the next year. I would have struggled again if we hadn't spent much of the year learning "computer programming" instead of actual math!<br /><br />It was only the second year our school had computers, and this was back in the day (1982) when an average kid like me could actually learn to write BASIC programming! The only thing that first computer we had could do was work algebra problems! Our kids just have no clue how far we've come, do they?<br /><br />And now I'm going off on a tangent! Guess I should save that story for a blog post of my own!Karla Cook @ Roads to Everywherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00902429832411315003noreply@blogger.com
