A Teaching Story
This was last year toward the end of the fall term.
Student X: "Mista, you're my favorite teacher because I never understood math before."
Student Y: "Yeah, me too mista, you're my favorite. I can't believe I get this now."
(right about now I was feeling pretty good about myself.)
Student Z: "Mista, you're my favorite teacher too, but I don't learn nothing in no classes. That's why I'm failing everything."
