math experiences

1.       My uncle was a great math teacher. He had a great reputation and respect in our area because he taught many students. It always inspired me to be a math teacher by his working. I always wanted to be a teacher like him.
2.       The main frustration about math which I faced was about theorems. Sometimes, I could not understand those properly, and I got frustrated about math.
3.       Mr. T in my back home, was my favorite math teacher. He was the first person in my life who showed me a relationship of math and arts. Usually, he used to recite mathematical poems in the class which gave me great relaxation.

4.       There was Mr. A , a math teacher. I did not like him at all because he never tried to explain the concepts in the class. He used to give us a lot of homework. I started cramming formulas instead of understanding them. I wont follow his teaching style in my life at all.

I totally agree that such type of extrinsic reinforcement turns into bribery instead of best practice. Here I would like to share an anecdote which I noticed two years ago in a private school of BC.  My younger daughter got some prizes in vocal music from the teacher. On every Saturday, there was a program organised by the management to encourage the children for music. Luckily, my daughter has a sweet voice. I ...
