Grrr. My algebra teacher left the school!

I was hoping I could take him when I needed higher classes, but he's gone. Apparently his parents have a 10,000 acre farm, and they're getting too old to take care of it, so he's gone home. I guess Alamogordo wasn't big enough to prove the 'you can't keep 'em down on the farm once they've seen the big city.'

I'm also a little ticked that he left while I was on vacation, I would have liked to have thanked him again for the class and said goodbye. Our class ended with five people taking the final.

Send a note c/o the school. I'm sure he's appreciate it, especially if he left in any small part because he felt he wasn't able to make enough of a difference -- what with 5 people taking the final.

I don't think the number of people in my class was a factor. It was the highest level of remedial algebra before the math classes that count towards degrees begin. It typically has a pretty high attrition rate. He also taught several other classes at much higher levels, I believe he was actually in charge of the entire math department.

Ah, then you're right that wouldn't be it. Still, I bet he'd like a note. ;)
