Math and science are my favorite subjects. When I passed multivariable calculus I felt I could do anything. It was difficult but I though algebra was much more confusing. I love, love, love calculus. When I took my first class I remember thinkings, "Wow! This is so much easier, faster and makes so much more sense than the stuff I learned before. Why dont we learn this first?" I sure hope my kids learn to love math. It is so much fun.

I always thought I hated math, but I guess I just hated the feeling of not being very good at it. I think there are definitely problems with the way math is taught, but it's also very difficult to completely individualize instruction when you have a room full of students. I was able to grasp concepts far more easily when I had a tutor.
