Learn MoreI struggled with math all my years in school. When I started my second career as a teacher, I knew I wanted to teach kids to overcome their fear of math.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceI was teaching math to newcomers from South America with little English, and no experience with handling American currency. We set up a Mercado and each student got $40 of play money. They shopped each other’s stalls and “bought” items from each other, counting currency and making change. It was epic.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would take a trip to the UK to trace my genealogy.
