Does Anyone Out There Know How to Graph a Parabola?
I have eaten everything I can get my hands on: ice cream, sour dough bread, mashed potatoes, leftover Halloween candy, a box of gobstoppers left over form Madagascar 2...And none of it has helped me calm my anxiety, ease my ulcer or teach me how to graph a parabola. I do however know all the components and utilizations of y=mx+b, could tell you the probability of of drawing two diamonds in a row out of a deck of cards and could remind you to not dangle participles. Yes, the day has come. Tomorrow I take the single most important (and longest) test of my life since my SAT: the WEST-B entrance exam into the teaching program at UW. I'd love to say go Dawgs but I should probably wait for my test results...Now that I think of it what 1st grade teacher needs to graph a parabola anyway?

I'm sure you'll do fine my dear. I love that teachers, most of whom greatly object to standardized testing, are subjected to many themselves. I took the Praxis and I swear, trained monkey could ace the thing. Then they sent me a big certificate cause I did well. Like I'm going to hang it on my wall or something? Anywho I think they just want to make sure you're not an idiot, after all, we've all had teachers we wondered about right? And you're no idiot.
PS Good belated luck! I'm such a dope.
