I went to school in the 70s, too. But I was lucky enough to have a wonderful teacher just at the right time.
I was put in the first 8th grade algebra class, and the guy that taught it really challenged us. Besides algebra he brought in lots of puzzles - logic problems and those division things with letters instead of numbers - where you have to figure out what the numbers really are.
Mainly. I guess, he taught us to think and reason. And made it fun at the same time.
He moved to the high school 2 years later and I had him for trig, analytic geometry and elementary analysis.
So - if you're out there, Mr. Grey - we still love you!
