Have Your Heard The One
about the boy whose mother spent every day substitute teaching to pay the bills while hoping for a permanent teaching position, and every evening helping her son cram for the SAT test. The boy who sat with his mother for two and a half hours just trying to understand equations; the mother who walked through every single practice equation with him, doing the steps right alongside him in an effort to teach him the methods solidly and yet quickly as possible. The mother who applied her background in teaching to demonstrate the steps in a variety of ways, helping the boy overcome the obstacles of learning algebra in three days or less.
This would be the boy who made his mother very nearly cry when he then shared his thesis for his English essay. "I'm writing about how teachers are so hypocritical," he said, as he went on to explain the frustrating things teachers do to students.
Have you heard about that boy? No? Well, maybe you heard about the boy that was sold on ebay for $1.92 yesterday? Yeah, that'd be the same one.

(Funny thing is, I don't think my mom would be fazed these days!)
And now, I'm the proud owner of a boy who knows how to cook, plays a mean game of mini golf, is a super thoughful shopper AND will be able to teach me and my children algebra.
$1.92 for all of that?
Well worth it, I'd say. FedEx him please. :)
