“Even when people at George School don’t comprehend what you are all about, they can at least see where you are coming from.”

Advanced Algebra with Paul Machemer is a bit like running after a car that is slowly accelerating—and hoping for the best. At the beginning of the year, the car went slowly, and I learned new things from reading all the stuff written on the bumper. Not just math, but intriguing stories and history lessons that all ended with clever puns.

By the end of the year, the car was speeding, and I was sprinting after it. But, amazingly, I was keeping up. That was my most interesting class because of a most interesting teacher.
