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.

I was having a bit of trouble with my 4 yr old and reading till…
just recently. We sat down this morning and read for a while in our hooked on phonics workbook. Not a long while about 15 minutes is all the attention span I get, and I will take what I can get at this point. Then we played a few math games, which my 4 yr old won both games we played. He was very excited to beat mom :-). We spent approx 30 minutes at our table.

We then went to the computer and visited Learn to Read. We spent approx 30 minutes here and my son just loves it. We then went to Let’s Make A Calendar and spent an additional 15 minutes or so here. We both had a great time.

This is a very nice resource for learning to read that we will use often.
