Bad Math Teachers
In 7th grade I had a substitute the whole year because my former math teacher decided to move away only to return back a year later. In 8th grade I had someone with a heavy accent and learned little to nothing just barley passing. In 9th grade I had another heavy accent teacher who did not speak english well trying to teach me algebra. I liked them as individuals but I just couldn't understand them and their technique from what they were saying to the way they assigned work. And since then I've hated math.
And also to add to that I was real insecure as a kid to ask help from the teacher because I felt like an idiot and it was fustrating.
Because of those experiences I hate math. I'm not good at it, and when I try I feel like my effort has gone to waste just to try and achieve a C or D plus on a math test so I can pass a class. Its tiring getting my hopes up for a good grade and getting a C-.
However, I've exceled in all my other studies. Love literature. Love history. In conclusion I've just accepted the fact that I'm just not a math person.
