Best text from a stats student in a long time...

Late Saturday afternoon, I get this in my Google Voice inbox:

Hey omg omg omg okay. So I was kinda freaking out before the ACT this morning because I haven't had "ACT math" since alg 2 last year. HEDGE. There was a contingency table and 3 questions about it!!!! There were also several probability questions. I have never felt so good about an act math section before !!! So even though my grade in my class isn't so great--I really have already learned so much in stats that has helped me with "bigger picture tasks" so yay thanks :D

So is the frustration worth it?

Yeah. Yeah, it is.

"So they're like soul mates!!"

That comment was from my Algebra 2 class on Friday when trying to discuss the idea of a function being "one to one".

The only thing I said was, "For every 'x' there is only one 'y' and for every 'y' there is only one 'x'." And one of my ditzy cheerleaders became wide-eyed with understanding and blurted that out.

Thought that was kind of cool-->and I'm stealing it for future discussions.
