Fires Chapter 7

Chapter 7 dealt mostly with challenging students. It also focused on how to teach more difficult subjects, like math and science to students.
I could relate with a lot of students in this chapter because I also struggled with these subjects. One student talks about how her math teacher basically left her behind. I felt that way a lot because most of the other people in my math classes did well and never had to ask questions. I was the total opposite, I needed step by step instructions and help and if there was one term that I didn't understand then I became completely lost and behind as the other students were acting like it was a cake walk. I used to get so upset and frustrated that at times I didn't even try, and my teacher never really helped me move along and I ended up failing math. That event in my life motivates me to never let that happen to any of my students.
