Confession time: I’m dreaming of becoming a math teacher in the vibrant heart of Los Angeles, but calculus and geometry feel like ancient legends to me now. After a summer teaching Algebra 2 (and loving every second with those high schoolers!), I realized I need to brush up before facing the single subject test. Here’s my dilemma: Should I chase the single subject credential if high school is my calling? And how do I conquer calculus with just a year to prepare? College courses sound tempting, but I crave real feedback before I leap. If you’ve walked this path, spill your secrets! What resources or strategies turned your confusion into clarity? Or, if you spot a flaw in my plan, call me out—let’s make this a learning journey for us all. Share your wisdom, challenge my assumptions, and let’s create a roadmap together. Maybe I’m overthinking… or maybe you have the missing piece I need! 🌞🤔 #MathEducation #TeacherJourney #CredentialAdvice #Education
