I too am struggling. I majored in biology, but the school district
I teach for wants me to teach physics. I enjoy the subject and I
understand the concepts in terms of what I teach to the high school
students. If I come up with any suggestions, I will let you know.
Right now, I feel the pain and know that you are not alone in your
struggle.
