Easy as A.B.C....
I just passed my literacy test! Officially now I am good enough at spelling, punctuating and grammar-type exercises to be a teacher, even if I am not at the standard that certain 20sixers would hope for (yes, that's you Mukiwa). ffice

Now I just have to get to grips with numeric.. and it's fair to say that I am a real numerical blonde... Sometimes I have flashes of inspiration (like when I am trying to justify the purchase of new shoes, or when I am trying to convince myself that one more bottle of wine won't hurt my AMEX too much), but mainly where my numerical skills are concerned there is really just a large void in my head filled with images of shiny things and diamonds.
Anyway, I'm a history teacher surely as long as I know how many shillings there are in to the pound then I'm fine right?

(30.9.04 12:43) Its the mental maths that is the real killer, but if I passed, so can pretty much anyone! |
|
(30.9.04 12:46) All maths is mental. Better make a start on your empathy, historicity and primary sources work then, Daisy. :-) |

(30.9.04 12:48) No, you really dont want to get good with numbers. Being good with numbers only leads to a better understanding of your finances. That is never good, continue as you are, with inspiration when it is neeeded! |

(30.9.04 12:56) Jack... maths is mental, as are the people who enjoy learning it. |

(30.9.04 14:14) My maths when working out how many pints of Heineken I can buy with whatever's in my wallet is exemplary; it's the other stuff that befuddles me. Who cares, being good at that there English is more important. Congratulations on passing, have this piquant sweetie as a reward xxx |

(30.9.04 15:11) If i go to the local with a tenner how many pints can I buy? Pretty much the maths that I live by..... |

(30.9.04 16:35) oh, the numeracy test's ok. it's a bit bullshitty, "If one book is £12.67 and you have £400 in the budget, how many books can you buy...?" type shit. It's mental arithmetic and not too bad at all. and as for ICT,, guess work passed for me! daisy dear, you'll be fine! x |
