Algebra Answer

I remember my first day in algebra class quite clearly. I though this might be fun, and I couldn’t wait to get started. What I didn’t know was that I would struggle through the entire year, and would barely pass the class. I tried very hard, but for some reason, every single algebra answer that I got right was out of sheer luck, or so it seemed. I even asked for help, but my teacher dismissed me as someone who apparently was not worth his time. To this day, I shudder when I think of it and wonder how different things might have been had I gotten the help I needed.

I am not a dumb person. I did very well in almost all other subjects. I just could not grasp this type of math for some reason. Maybe it was something about my teacher, or maybe it was me. I’m not sure. I do remember a friend of mine had a hard time with each algebra answer that she came up with. Surely it wasn’t meant to be that hard. I know advanced math is not supposed to be easy, but surely we were struggling more than we should have. Now that I am a mom myself, I am going to be sure my daughter does not have the same problem.

There are many great programs that can help a student come up with their own algebra answer without copying from the student next to them. Some are just naturally gifted in math and some are not, but that does not mean that the less advanced students should be left behind. They need extra help, and sometimes it is up to the parents to make sure they get what they need. If they can’t get help from the school, they have to find help otherwise.

Because I did not do well, I know I won’t be much help with any algebra answer, but I do know my husband knows it quite well. If necessary, I will find extra help online for her in the way of programs and materials meant for the student searching for an algebra answer that they can’t seem to come up with on their own. Even better, some of these programs are self explanatory, which means that I won’t have to know what I am talking about to help my daughter, and who knows, I may even finally learn to do these types of problems on my own after all of this time.
