I gave a tutoring session for some of my oldest 10th graders in Mathematics today. They were working on word problems and I led them through step by step, at least how I had learned to do it. They were really pleased and gracious, making me think that maybe I teach the wrong subject. Imagine - Math teacher John. Hmmm. I think I would have the same problems, however. Teaching on the secondary level requires that the primary level education was done well, and that dependent concepts have been introduced. As that doesn't always happen, math could be quite the adventure, like Biology.
