I can believe this. Not fake, not gay. The math teaching of the past was so dumb. Even now, I have 2 kids who never got a bad math teacher and still love math; two who did (one teacher who actually thought women ought not get higher education) and those two do not

And a good math teacher is a treasure beyond words. Mr. Galing, if I could have had you teach my kids through high school I would have taken them anywhere.

4 I gave birth to plus 5 step kids - when we married 3 were already grown and 4 were in high school, only 2 were small (and we doubled up on birth control) so we didn't have an impossible household situation. Enough kids to draw conclusions about the school system though.

That's a lot! Props to you for keeping your sanity.

Can I ask what your cultural background is? Mormon? Indian? Catholic? South-east asian?

[-] RBWells@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Ha! Not religious, but yes from Catholic background both me & husband. I do like kids, and they are all glad now to have such an extensive network of siblings. White mostly by way of Southern Europe on my side, husband mostly by way of Eastern Europe.

Sounds like there were a lot of fights growing up but now they're at somewhat peace with one another
