Teaching is, ultimately, communication. It's like broadcasting, in that 
the message needs to be understandable to the listener, or else it won't 
be understood. Some people can figure things out on their own, but a 
skill like solving equations needs to be learned by practice. Someone 
should try packaging it as a game.

Yup, been there.

He was clearly a poor teacher, then. The questions are how you figure 
out how well your message is getting through.

I wonder if it's possible he didn't understand the material very well 
himself. Sometimes people get roped into teaching subjects that are not 
their strongest.

My math skills have atrophied considerably over the years for lack of 
use. I have to think about even the simplest problems these days before 
arriving at an answer.

Mine was very nice. I took the train to Maine and spent the holiday with 
my girlfriend, her sister, and a couple of calico kitties.
