I was just reading the latest issue of Wired and found a story about this place. I'm fascinated! I will reveal here that I never learned algebra; got a D-. It might have been the 9th grade teacher, Major Alfeo Bernardi, US Army retired. He taught the class as if he were commanding a platoon of recruits and if you didn't understand something, you were sent out of the room to 'police the area'. So I was frequently found outside the classroom, picking up litter. Anyway...enough of that. I'm going to try out the Khan Academy method of learning algebra... I'm almost 71 and I should learn it before...well, you know...
