We kept changing teachers every year ....and everyone started at the beginning of the syllabus ! So I knew a lot about the tundra and coal ....and not much else

I can add, subtract and multiply, and that's good enough for me   

I believe students that want to go into jobs that need algebra and the like should be given the chance for extra tuition
