In 6th grade, one day the regular teacher was absent and the substitute teacher was the same teacher as I had in kindergarten and she told the class to see her at her desk one at a time, when you had learned the multiplication tables starting with 1 to be tested, I immediately went to her desk started with the multiplication table one, then had to go to my desk and wait for next available turn and I kept going to her desk over and over, and didn't understand why you would stop at table 12, so I kept going to her desk, and final at table 15 and passing, she told me to stop that, I'm supposed to stop at 12, but she didn't explain as to why you stop at multiplications of 12, had no idea as to why, I had been taken out of classes because of my speech problems, didn't learn certain things as a result of missing those classes, and slept in lots of them or just daydreamed, school was just an escape as to my miserable time in life from time to time...... |
