Summer Sunset

I like the sound of the cicadas.

That is an easy one, I have three children. Two girls in college and a boy starting high school.

Without a doubt I know that ghosts exist and for the most part they are all around us. I bet that you have caught a glimpse of someone out of the corner of your eye to only find that nothing is there?

My freshman year of high school the worst teacher in the history of our school district Mr. @$#% was my algebra teacher. He was a spitter for one thing and he also liked to hear himself drone on and on and on. I failed the whole year of algebra and so did about 1/3 of the class. Mr. insisted that in algebra it was not enough to apply the rules of math but in order to get the problem correct we had to write out the entire equation. Now I fully understand the reason for proving your work and understanding of the exercise BUT take points off for each step that was taken to get the sum EVEN if the answer was right. He insisted that "In the long run young lady I don't believe that your methodology will stand up" I took algebra my senior year, with another teacher and I passed with a 100% for the year. I have also since taken algebra in college and have gotten all A's.
