Youth tricks.

Winter I belive has begun for real. It is cold here today my toes feel like they are rolling around in my shoes. I taught algebra at the high school today. Oh wait, that is a lie. I wandered around the students while they worked on their algebra. 
I really like math it is like doing a puzzle. However, I did not pay attention in school so it is hard for me to remember how to do any of it. I was a very unhelpful math sub.  In fact, I got kicked out of algebra and had to take a business math class for ding-a-lings.
The scene: Algebra second period, my sophomore year of high school, me a bad perm.  I am a business woman so, I hired a smart freshman to do my work for me. I had a good job and was bringing in money. As a smart boyfriend once said why change your tire if you can afford to pay to have it done. I considered this plan  a brilliant outsourcing. Which worked until the exam. I could not do a single problem on my own, hello! bad planning. I am sure you can see why I was kicked out. That boyfriend was dumb also what happens with no cell service and a flat tire? Self efficacy has it benefits.

bad algebra teacher= (Algebra)not paying attention + business math
