As most of you might know, I'm a fan of school. Also, as most of you might know, I'm also a fan of maths. But something about Maths class today...just left me feeling bored. Which was strange. Whenever I'm in Maths class, I always feel like doing work. I mean, it's Maths, right? Why would I not do work? It's like the most fun subject ever! For those who do not know me, that was not sarcasm. For those who do know me, that was also not sarcasm.

Argh. Damn you tangents. Anyways, what was I talking about? Oh yes.

So, I began thinking about why I didn't feel like doing any work. And it can't be that I've already know the content. I mean, as long as I get work that helps me expand my understanding of maths(which is really hard to find. Took my Maths Adv. Gen. teacher 2 weeks to come up with said type of content), I'm totally content (That was for you guys!) with what I've got.

But as I was walking home, I think I realized what was the reason as to why I was so unproductive. I think it was because of my teacher. She was just so...uninspiring. Now, don't get me wrong. From what my friends say, she does her job well. She knows what she's teaching and she can communicate what she knows effectively. At least, enough so my friends learn something. The thing is she lacks passion in her voice...like she was tired, and couldn't be bothered teaching us this stuff.

To be fair to her, it was some simple stuff, which for the living day lights of me, my friends did not get.

But, I mean, even if you aren't passionate about the unit circle, at least be passionate about the actual teaching. The fact that you are passing on information, that is quite novel to many of those in that class.

See, I find I need passionate teachers. I need teachers who actually love what they're doing. Who love their subject and teaching their subject. I need them to be interested in what their doing. To get really excited, when kids ask good questions or when kids give answers to hard questions. Simply because they thought outside the box. I need teachers who want the best out of me, and not just the grade.

Now, I can say, I've got a steller set of teachers. For every single subject I love (except Maths Methods) they've all inspired me to go beyond what I'm supposed to go, and just do as much as I possibly can. But because I've got a bad teacher in Methods, I'm just sitting there. Doing the amount of work required to get that A+(which is tiny compared to the amount of work I do for other subjects).

Yes, I know it's sounds a bit high and mighty, saying working and getting an A+ isn't all that great. But it isn't for me, and it definitely shouldn't be for maths (again, for me). So yeah. Learnt a new thing today. Uninspiring teachers don't inspire me to do more work. Who would've guessed, eh?

It's funny though. For my other maths class, my teacher has inspired me so much, that I've already set to work on my textbook for next year. And funnily enough, she's saying to stop that (as a joke). Because if I finish the book this year, I'll be the worst student ever, trying to tell everyone what I know and not letting the teacher...you know...teach.

Just as a fun fact, I think if I was a teacher, I'd be a maths teacher. Maths is something I can talk about, day after day after day, helping people understand how the maths works and not just the formulas.I'd never get tired of it. It's really fun to help people with their maths. I mean, the amount of times I try to "teach" my friends maths has gotten me a fair few "Shut up, Channa!". From both the teacher and the students.

Though this one 15 year old in my tuition class did say I'd be a great maths teacher, and if there's one thing I'm good at, it's living in an echochamber.
