I could not see getting past day one of calc 1 without my mad algebra skillz
mad algebra skillz make it so much more work
you can solve a problem in 2 lines by memorizing a few formulas
or you can take up half a page through crazy algebra things that you are only half sure you didn't make up on the spot

I kind of want to talk about my day at school but it really isn't about the education system so much as my school's stupid rules and the assholes that are in charge so I feel like I need a different thread for that..
So like, I am disturbed at how poor students reading skills are.

First Outer Inner Last, bitches.
I used to amaze the kids in resource by factoring big quadratics in my head. Obviously, these were quadratics that you didn't need to use the formula to find the factors, but it was still fun hearing them go "How the fuck did you do that?"
Also, a good way to remember the quadratic formula: sing it to the tune of "Pop goes the weasel."
i had two math teachers through all of high school, one was a retarded closet lesbian, and the other is pretty much my mentor and idol. he was probably the coolest teacher on the planet.
and my english teacher was batshit fucking insane. like the type that knew english iv was boring as fuck, so she made up for it by being looney as hell, generally making the class fun

yes, wiggin you magnificent bastard
Resource teacher: "Does anyone know the quadratic formula?"
Me, singing: "X is equal to negative b, plus or minus the square root, of b squared minus 4 ac, all over 2 a."
Kids: "...what"

Hahaha.
Seriously, man. The only purpose Algebra really has, as I understand it, is the proving that you're willing to learn something that prepares your brain for even harder shit when you get to college. Even so, I don't see why Algebra couldn't be replaced with some form of education that would actually help people in their lives at some point.

why are you in a resource class
are you a student aid?
I'm classified as learning disabled in written and oral expression.
Managed to work past that difficulty without any help from the vapid cunts in resource.
One period a day, for four years, I could have been doing something that actually was worthwhile, as opposed to doing homework and reading.

algebra skills are a must for good programming
and i would be nowhere without them

hey guys did you know that if you're integrating a function that can be reduced to the form sqrt(x^2+a^2) and substitute that form with a*tan (theta) (or maybe it's asectheta) and also maybe replace dx with the perfect differential? I don't know, that makes it easier to integrate
The resource ladies always bitched about "You never ask for help when you need it rah rah rah."
For the 3 times a year that I needed help, there were people who needed a hell of a lot more help than I did. I just stuck it out, got my work done, and helped out when I could.

You know, you kind of have the same problem here
Who knows though, maybe your stubborn attitude will end up working to your advantage later in life.

i was taught calculus through all algebra
algebra is so satisfying

She had the craziest smile and was generally wacko and would repeat everything she said 5 times exactly.
She was very annoying.

No, she had to leave the party early. You know how old people are.
