B.O.B.

I love math and sciences, and so they have always come very easy to me. In past math classes though, I found the pace much too slow, and the curriculum much too easy. This year, in starting precalc functions, I feel much more challenged  and ready to learn in class, instead of just finishing the work and ignoring the teacher when they start to repeat things. Although I still have many questions concerning the combining functions, and problems like f(g(h(x))), I find myself learning much more and at a much faster pace this year. I feel like this class really is preparing me for calc next year, and for most of my life. I am thinking more critically,  looking for more than one answer, and slowing down to really think about what's going on and why it works the way it does, instead of doing it just to get it done. That's how classes are supposed to be aren't they? I wish more classes would be like that instead of easy busy work. If you have questions, ask them! Don't be that person who's afraid of asking to sound stupid. Who cares. It's more important to ask and understand it then fail. Plus, Mr. Jackson's ghost story Fridays are always fun. :)
