My 35th high school reunion is coming up in October, and I was just thinking about my old teachers.

I did have some really great people, honestly, and I look with real fondness on my high school years.

I used to call the chairman of the math department after math team competitions so I could tell him how our team had done. One time I described to him one of the problems and told him I had come up with a second, equally valid answer. He got on the phone with the powers that be the next day, explained my solution, and I got credit for that one after the fact.

In case you're wondering how there could be more than one valid answer to a math problem, it went like this: What is the sum of the sides of three different regular polygons whose angles add up to 360? Their answer was 22. Mine was: a square (90 degrees, 4 sides), a pentagon (108 degrees, 5 sides), and a 20-gon (162 degrees, 20 sides), and thus 29.

But I also had the occasional teacher who seemed like he'd died inside.

Like Mr. Elliott for middle-school history. He wanted to be anywhere else but in that classroom.

We've all had the same experience outside the classroom, too: we meet people about whom we say, "That guy is in the right business." And then others who seem miserable doing what they're doing.

The folks at Franbassador just released a test that helps you figure out what kinds of franchise businesses would be particularly suited to you, so you can thrive in and enjoy what you do.

Even if you're not interested in a franchise business per se, you'll still enjoy taking the test and seeing the insights and business ideas the system gives you.

Have fun!
