very, very angry. yesterday the horrible math teacher "drew a blank" on how to do several of the review problems. we inquired how we're supposed to take the test the next day when she cannot teach us the material. she responded that we'd discuss keeping the test scheduled for the following day. since the whole period went by without her remembering how to do the problems, we assumed that her inabilities meant that there'd be no test the next day.

wrong.

i got to class at exactly 9.10 this morning (stupid accident on the 101 and broadway...), and she was quickly writing the problems on the board that she couldn't tackle the day before. she was trying to explain them in the five minutes before class and then handed out the test! we had the test! i am so mad. she can't even do the material herself and expects her students to just automatically know everything? a few other people in the class are as outraged as i am, but i'm afraid most don't care at all. they're shooting for a c, and that's it. i am in awe of this lady's incompetence, and it makes me worry about the teachers my children will have.

in better news, maria taylor last night was fun. i got a beautiful new tote to replace my very-used and rather gross cursive bag. it was also very good to see errol and killian bonding. can't wait to see my brother.
