My 7th grade Algebra teacher didn't know algebra. Period. I'm a little dubious about her basic arithmatic skills as well.
Luckily, she had been assigned a student teacher who had a Masters in math and was a good teacher to boot. When the student teacher left, it went downhill. My dad basically taught me and a couple friends the second half of the year.
The result of the stupid teacher was that the lot of us were not allowed-no exceptions- to take the next level at the high school when we got there (I'm blanking on a year of school but I remember the consequences, )but instead had to take a sort of halfwaybetween level. Taught by someone who knew math but could not teach to save his life. Once again, my dad taught me, but I'd get yelled at in class for solving the problems not using the same methods (style, not content) that were being taught. The whole thing apparently freaked me out such that I would bomb tests regularly. It took a couple years to quit that.
So. point. Um, teachers not knowing the subject they teach=bad. Teachers who know the subject but cannot teach=bad. Or something.
msbelle, I couldn't find any like this, only neoprene pockets. I'm just looking to colour it up, not add to size.
Can you pretend that they raised the price to $9 but cut the shipping to $2?
Dude! $4.50 for a skin!
See? It doesn't work out.
We had air conditioning failure yesterday, the first day it hit 90. mr flea got on the phone with our landlady and 10 minutes later they were off to Lowe's. Due to the hard work of mr flea we now have AC again. It is no fun to install a bigass (24000 BTU, whole-house unit) AC in the window, especially in hot weather. Go team mr flea!
My mother is visiting and she and my daughter are SO in love with each other. I am so happy. Today they bought plastic giraffes at the toy store and then went to the library and got books about giraffes.
I have a bruise on my thigh shaped like a palm. This might be the turning point where kravvers become isolated because explaining these things to new people gets too difficult. My god, we were all marked up after yesterday. Well, the girl who took the test with the broken thumb wasn't too bruised.

Teh cute never ends!
No, I still haven't gone to lunch yet.
Ooh, lunch. That's a good idea.
ION (x-posted from Tech) - Apple is switching over to Intel processors.
Wait, is that the size of a palm as well?
That looks...ow.
I think you should start telling people it is a religious apparition. Like the jesus footprint in an english muffin.
ita's been touched by an angel
offers to make my sperm taste better
Cherry flavored? Grape? Diet sperm?
It the New Sperm®, although they probably ought to talk to the Coca Cola marketing people about it first before investing heavily.
Apparently half my town was without power yesterday afternoon while I was sitting in front of my air conditioner. Probably not my fault.
