So, Napoleon had us writing and solving our own problems on the black board last night. I DID NOT LIKE THAT!! Nerve-wracking. I am not at all comfortable with getting up in front of people, especially when I know that I'm about to make a bunch of silly mistakes. I'm still leaving off negative signs.
Napoleon only had to sit back and watch us and offer help if anybody got stuck. I suppose since he didn't have the pressure of having to actually try to teach us slow-wits anything new, he was in a relaxed mood. He was actually LAUGHING and joking!! And for a change, it wasn't at our sub-par math skills!
Fortunately, classmates kept doing the kinds of problems that threw me on the tests. Not the ridiculousness of forgetting to add a negative sign, or mixing up 7x6 and 7x9 (I know, right? I need to slow down!), but the problems that lead to the glaring red ink and its vibrantly awful rebuke "You have a serious concept problem."
