Then there's other math than requires basic arithmetic, which I always skrewed up with stupid mistakes. And I HATED when they made us do math races at the board. Why was that necessary? Why?Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08655094330475654364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34531845.post-57538323152633839512008-03-06T11:11:00.000-05:002008-03-06T11:11:00.000-05:00Yep, checked the websites out.

Our reimbursement forms require that I indicate what exchange rate we were using. So I had to figure out what rate the credit card company had used. Like play Jeopardy!

I always had (have) problems with that too, also in all the AP classes in high school with A's and B's, but the lowest possible math classes where I eeked by with a C on good days. Never had trig or calc and I don't want to. I had a good math teacher, though, too, Mr. Vacca. He knew I was an AP student and knew I wasn't stupid. He was a good teacher. But I still suck at math.<BR/><BR/>And, for next time, there are Web sites that will calculate the current currency exchange rates for you. I use them instead of resorting to math. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
