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.

Yummi Recipe Ham Steak

This grocery store looks pretty bare reminded me of how empty ours is

Ham Steak

What you need:  Ham steak, 2 rings canned pineapple, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tbs. mustard, 1/8 tsp. ground clove

What you need to do:  Mix the sugar, mustard and clove and cover both sides of the ham.  Place under broiler or in a hot skillet for approx. 10 mins. or until sugar melts.  Use some of this melted sugar to brown pineapple at the last moment.

I was wanting to make this for my family this week, yet the snow storm had other plans.  Now again our streets are difficult to drive and our local grocery store is running low on quite a few items.  Also this morning I fell on the ice and sprained my knee, which I had injured years ago.  I have a torn ACL ligament, which I have not had surgery done on.   Nevertheless this recipe will have to wait a bit longer to reach our lips.
