It reminds me of that thing on pinterest that shows an iPhone and says, "My math teacher said I wouldn't always be carrying a calculator in my pocket.

Please please please call him! He would love to help! He helped my cousin with Physics (Parker even flew to Colorado so Steve could help him) and Parker got 100% on his final after 3 grueling days of non stop physics at our house. Surely we could get you a 60%!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11247080850550914860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-50459225375820583472013-09-19T22:38:02.484-07:002013-09-19T22:38:02.484-07:00I know your frustration well it took me three trie...I know your frustration well it took me three tries to get through Stats. I hated it. I would go every day listen understand then the next day I would suddenly be lost. No tutor was going to get me to understand. I still don't know how I passed. I am sure it was a miracle!

My brain likes canning MUCH more than it likes math. Because it makes sense. (I can peaches like that too. Total sense)<br /><br />I KNOW you can do this Jane. I'm so proud of you. Thank you for your example.

I don't ...It sounds like you need a new tutor!<br /><br />I don't even want to imagine what a state I'd been in if I had to do math homework and take exams again!

I'm using this in my education ...Classic post. I'm using this in my education classes. AMEN. <br />You need to read Frank Smith "Unspeakable Acts;Unnatural Practices". He writes, "It's unnatural to keep repeating something you don't understand. If I don't understand what it means to say, 'The double helix of DNA consists of two interwined sugar-phosphate chains,' it doesn't help me to keep repeating the statement. Some teachers become very good at helping students to fake a minimal competence--and many students become very good at doing so. But they haven't learned anything useful, and have probably acquired some detrimental habits." Teachers that can't answer the "why" are teachers [or tutors] that "come to look and feel as if they are mathematicians, but never get beyond minimal mathematical competence . . .Faking ends the moment they run into the barrier of incomprehension [and can't explain or help]. <br /><br />Your problem isn't you. Your problem is you want depth and you're being tutored by a faker!<br /><br />Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13930770485101819866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-30240652161550664392013-09-19T10:03:57.801-07:002013-09-19T10:03:57.801-07:00I didn't know there was another method of cann...I didn't know there was another method of canning fruit... pressure cooker?<br /><br />I am so ticked about this whole statistics class. How dare a class make a smart person feel stupid.<br /><br />YOU CAN DO IT MOM! Last hoop to jump through.

But I've thought of going back to school (you know, why would the Hartwells EVER want to be finished?) and the thought of doing statistics terrifies me. Chris does statistics every day, so I've told him he could be my personal tutor. But honestly, the computer does most of it for him, too. <br /><br />I think maybe I should stick to canning. When I canned peaches this year I wondered what your method was. I'll have to bookmark this. Too bad the peaches are long gone around here this year. <br /><br />Good luck on that final!Deidrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01181514421028402144noreply@blogger.com
