All through school I was in the veggie math class. There is a lot of math I misses out on, especially long division. At the school where I teach English I had asked a couple of math teachers if they could teach me long division. I came to the conclusion that long division was some kind of esoteric magic.
But today I thought to myself 'how hard could it be?' I looked it up online and it made sense. It was like someone turned on a light and I just got it.
When I told my wife she looked at me as if I had just said I learned how to tie my shoe laces today. At least I'm proud of myself.
Turns out math IS fun. The problem is math teachers.
Maybe tomorrow, long multiplication.
