Rayraz, I think I can top that. My teacher, when I was about 6 or 7 insisted that I had spelled my sister's name wrong. Her name is Jeanna (like a kid would make that up) but the teacher insisted it was wrong. Catlin, I took one of those career type tests which said I would make a good bartender. Did anyone explain to you why having diabetes would make you a good nurse? Why not a doctor? Is there something about the nursing profession they don't tell the rest of us? I learn much more quickly if someone explains the whatever to me. Unfortunately, too many people are fond of the 'discovery' method of teaching. I usually end up discovering I'm very angry at the teacher. Ten minutes of 'do this, this and this and this is why you do it' is a lot more effective for me. Works well when I have to teach someone else too. Lin
