My teacher was probably not happy with it either, being forced to teach a curriculum, and instead of telling me I was wrong, she invited me to go up to the board after the lesson and explain my thoughts to the class. I think if I explained my thoughts, it was an interesting loophole for her, where she could claim she stayed on curriculum and could ask questions rather than "teaching". A similar thing happened with "power of", where I was telling one of my peers about how it worked on the bus, and he told me I was making up fake math, so he invited the grade 6 bus monitor to the conversation to confirm if I was telling the truth or lying, and she told us I was lying, and there was "no such thing". But, my grade 2 teacher also invited me to explain it the next day. Childhood scars... but that teacher was a favourite of mine. :-) -- Mark Mielke <mark.mie...@gmail.com>
