Worst Teacher I Ever Had

Describe the worst teacher you ever had.

The worst teacher I ever had was a math teacher in high school named Mr. Cheng. He was so mean to me, he would pick and make fun of me when I didn’t know the answer to questions in class. I dreaded going to this man’s class day in and day out. Plus he was not a very good teacher, I had a hard time understanding his lessons.
The worst part is I had him for two years straight for math class. As a young student in junior high I guess I should have told my mom and ask for help. I didn’t ask for help from my mom, I just did my best and got through it.
Wonder if this experience is partly to blame for me not doing well in math as I progress through school. I had to work hard on my own and get tutors all through high school and college. I struggled quite a bit with math all my life.
Who was your worst teacher you ever had?

I asked my husband what his worst teach ever was and he said his was Mrs. Louis, she was his teacher in 11th grade and taught him chemistry. He did get his parents to help him and he got changed classes.

Snow Accident Slip and Falling

NEW YORK - FEBRUARY 26: Snow is cleared from ...

We need one of these in our neighborhood, but have not seen one in site!

Well, my husband tried to go to work this morning, I say tried because I didn’t think he would get very far. He got stuck on a snow bank just leaving our driveway. He came inside to get me to help him in getting in the car while he pushed. Took us a minute or two but we got our car out of the snow bank. I had help now it was time to go back inside our warm home, but wait there is more.

I was walking in and lost my footing and thought and felt like I was going to fall. I struggled for a few seconds and regained my balance, without falling. Oh the pain in my left knee was terrible, I slowly walked inside with my husband help. I plopped on the couch and my leg throbbed a bit and started feeling better. I was told by the insurance nurse on the phone to stay off my feet for 24 to 48 hours. I also put ice on it every two hours.

I am so ready for this snow to go away because honestly it has lost it’s fun factor for me by now and many other people in our area.

As I type this we are getting ready for a few more inches of the fluffy annoying stuff to fall on us. Yet I can’t help but feel fortunate to at least not have lost our power for the time being.

How is the weather in your area? Is it warmer than ours? Or is it just as frosty.
