Why ihatechem as the name of this wiki.

In the early part of the 90's I was teaching IB SL and HL chemistry at the International School of Kenya. Once day a student came forward to announce that she "hated" chemistry. It is a strong word, and over the years I have heard many references to the subject, such as; " it was my worst subject in school" ;" I did not understand chemistry", "i didn't like doing the problems", etc. Chemistry is one subject that is often disliked, often hard to understand, and least interest to many. However this wiki is named to honor a student whose words inspired my first site with this name using Geocities accounts two decades ago. Recently, I spoke to this very student, who honored me as her favorite teacher during our conversation, as she continues to work in the medical field.. with lots of chemistry! As I return to the classroom this has inspired me to recreate a sire to support learning of chemistry.
