Talk about confused. Maybe that's why I'm such a multi-tasker (note I did not say "good multi-tasker") - I was constantly switching between "one answer only" and "hundreds of valid answers" (except when it comes to spelling and grammar) throughout high school.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02649567424535224622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18500594.post-70665542863352279962007-07-12T10:17:00.000-04:002007-07-12T10:17:00.000-04:00Thanks gina!

In English class, each question has hundreds of valid answers. In math, there was only one valid answer. It seemed horribly limited and lacking in imagination.<BR/><BR/>Now, I see the elegance and beauty of math ... but I still wouldn't want to take a test in it.Red Sevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10374428870925284956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18500594.post-53699419575370957612007-07-11T20:45:00.000-04:002007-07-11T20:45:00.000-04:00I love math, especially algebra, but I think buyin...I love math, especially algebra, but I think buying the nuts you like and putting them on your VISA is the very best answer.
