She says its okay to strugglebecause its about the climb.Fletcher teaches Geometry and AlgebraI and II. She tries to make math fun byinteracting with her class and beingenthusiastic about the subject.I try to get to know them as people,and not just students, she said.If students are going to learn one thingfrom her, she hopes that it will be gettingthe same satisfaction and pleasure shegets from solving a problem.Math is clear cut. You either know ifyou got the answer right or wrong,Fletcher said.Working in the math department isenjoyable because the teachers like to befun and energetic.We genuinely care about each other,she said.According to Fletcher, herself andThomas Holicky tie for first place offunniest teacher.He is the weirdest math teacher, noquestion, she said.If she was a math student at North,Fletcher would want Alice Kilbride to beher teacher.In the words of Mrs. Fletcher,remember: A good angle to approach anyproblem is the try-angle!29 «
