MI: Chapter 2

This chapter brought up a fear of mine while becoming a teacher. I am an English major and reading and writing is what I do best. My weak spot is with logic and math. it never interested me so therefore my intelligence in it never ripened. I do not want my weakness in this area to affect my teaching in any way though, and I fear that it may become an obstacle. As a teacher I feel like I should be able to help or at least guide my students with anything in my subject area or others. I do not want to be the teacher watching over study time and have a student come up to me and ask for help on a math problem and have to tell them that I don’t know how to do it. Even though math is not my content area I still feel like I should have a good understanding of it if I am going to be any kind of teacher.
