Topix Underground

I wish I had known you back then.

In second grade - we were learning to add and subtract. I asked my Dad if you could could subtract a bigger number from a smaller number - he said yes! You get a negative number. I went back the next day and told my teacher - she said that was something I would learn but for now "No". In that moment - I trusted my Dad and knew that the education system was somehow flawed.

My Dad taught me Calculus in 6th grade. My Dad was a superhero. I miss him.

Math, not a subject I ever cared for. I learned enough to do the things I like to do that needed some math then ignored the rest.   


Fun story, had an older teacher for 7th period math 11th grade. We clashed the first 10 mins of the first day over the way I was sitting. After that I would walk into class and he would immediately send me to the office where I would flirt with the girls who volunteered there until it was time to go home.    That whole semester no one ever questioned why I was there. LOL   Needless to say, I failed that class.
