Idea: If you are going to teach math, you have to enjoy it!
Reflection 1: If you are being forced to teach math, you better pretend to enjoy it!
Reflection 2: It's difficult as a teacher candidate to teach a subject that you yourself are not completely comfortable with. This comment if fair too commen - yes I understand that I'm preaching to the choir - but for someone who knows what to do, but just isn't sure HOW to so it, it can really make an experience difficult. I will be the first one to admit that my abilities to teach math are not acceptable - but I'm trying. How am I trying? I'm pretending. During high school and some parts of my undergraduate degree, I learned to "fake it till I make it". Sometimes if you fake it enough, you actually start to believe it. But, how do you know when enough is enough and I should "stop digging myself a grave" or 'quit while I'm ahead". I just don't want to "go down in flames" again...
