Substitute teachers and Substrings... what's the difference, really?
Ok, no.
Today Mr. Arkin wasn't in class because he wasn't feeling so well. Thus, sub #1: the Substitute teacher. The work he assigned us, because we were finished with the Repetition unit, was sub #2: Substrings. A substring is a part of a string. (A string is a set of characters, if you don't remember.) For example in the string "mathematics", a substring can be the letter 'm', the first syllable "math", or just any set of letters like "athema". After reading the page on substrings, we got right to work on a brand new set of assignments. Gee, I wonder what they're called... the Substrings Assignments of course!
So it wasn't that important of a class today... However, that was not the case in Math class. We had our second Math unit test today, and there were two questions which involved concepts we hadn't even talked about! How frustrating is that, when you haven't learned something and the teacher expects you to magically know it for a test? And I wasn't the only one complaining — out of the entire class, everyone agreed that we indeed had never been taught that! So by the end of the period, everyone felt really down... wouldn't you, if you knew this was going to bring your average down by a lot? We tried talking to our teacher about it, but she wouldn't say anything except "I'll see." Argh. :'(
Another Monday past, another disappointment. I'm starting to see another trend: Avoid anything major on Mondays! But like they say, if you're at the bottom it can only get better... right? I really hope so, and that justice will be brought to all our poor math class students. I DEMAND JUSTICE!
