So, no, you can't beat it into people either. And next period would be Tech Drawing where I was doing practical geometry, but maths teachers are not practical people, so they couldn't tie up the theoretical world with the practical world. For me, maths is an everyday part of my engineering world, it's not stuff done on paper.
That maths teacher sounds like a sadisitc prickle. I'd like to think that teachers now are more enlightened.
They do at least know about Dyslexia & ADDHD these days.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
