The only thing I remember from your math class is my infamous “crusty syringe” story. It must have had something to do with cubic volume or related nonsense.

Mrs D.? Really? I thought she was Mrs. B. But then, what do I know, I cannot for the life of me remember the name of our 7th grade (or 8th grade, for that matter) math teacher.
Also, nowadays you would SO be sent to counseling for that story. Instead, you won an award.

Huh. That was a weird typo. You’re right, and I have the right name in my list…Odd. Not sure how I went from B to D but…regardless, fixed. :-)
I still haven’t come up with 7th grade and I think we were on different “teams” in 8th. My 8th grade math teacher was the bitch who, during a picnic at some end-of-year field trip after I had just revealed my family’s plans to go to Minnesota for the summer, told me, “I hate all Yankees.”
She’s also the person who, when I asked her what the difference was between a proportion and a ratio, she paused and answered, “Very little.”
You should have seen how wide my mom’s eyes – my mother the math teacher – got when I told her that one.
Oddly, I remember that when we were in 6th grade, her name was Ms. Mullins. In 7th it was Ms. Collins. In 8th it was Ms. Whaley.
Wonder what it is now.

And, yeah…had she really been concerned about my li’l story, she probably would have just called my mom. :-) I swear, all of the math teachers in Columbia County knew each other.
Can you imagine if she had send me to one of those counselors? What a joke.

:D Sorry, but I love that answer.
Back to Mrs. B., I remember the B. part but I can’t remember the rest. It’s on the tip of my tongue. I keep thinking Babbage but I know that’s just my brain going to Charles Babbage. You’ll have to email it to me sometime.
