Has anyone else noticed a trend of math fixation in school? Mind you I graduated highschool in 2010, and in the last year I didn't even take a math class, but it was only because I spent years just struggling with it. I went to 5 different highschools and two middleschools, and saw a very weird trend
>all classes are given equal time, despite how much more complex they are >Each type of math problem / equation / lesson is given only ONE lesson to teach >the learning examples are of course easy, but the homework is long, and the questions are all 'trick questions', as they don't JUST use the original formula but require you to cross reference earlier formulas and find a way to combine them >instead of teaching you how to do this, you are expected to know how to do this on the first grading, otherwise you are taught like you are not applying yourself, even though it is not taught >the test versions are that times 10 >the homework is given daily as its the only way to learn, and if you don't get the first problem of a lesson group, you can be struggling all week as each lesson builds on that formula in a new way >students feel so overwelmed and exhausted by this that they ALWAYS have their math homework, because being behind just one day would be hell >but history, literature, etc. homework is often not there, and teachers feel like the entire class is a failure, even though they all did their math homework it just took them hours and then they were too tired to memorize history facts
i see it killing so many students struggling to learn.
What is crazy is im the most math minded person I know now, even though I Was getting like a D the entire time (i was in an advanced class)

High school math isnt exhausting at all, even ap calc. It doesnt require creative solutions or intuition for the most part, youre pretty much guaranteed an A+ as long as you do the practice problems on time, because otherwise you will end up cramming last minute and forgetting important notes. I think america needs a harder curriculum because we are falling behind globally.
Lincoln Richardson
If you are getting D's in high school math you are not math minded. You are a retard.
Noah Johnson
That isn't math fixation. Yes the problems on exams and quizzes will be harder than the homework, as you are expected to THINK not to memorize methods. That isn't what mathematics is about. If you are too fucking stupid to get highschool math, you don't deserve a diploma.

damn is this really what NA education is like? Also always found it funny how in NA they start university with calculus meanwhile in Europe that's high school shit kek.
>NA they start university with calculus meanwhile in Europe that's high school shit kek. What we cover in Europe in HS is what in America is called Calculus I. What we call Analysis I as a first year course, they call Calculus II. American highschools have terrible standards and new students take calculus I as a "remedial" course if they require it. It is not all schools, all the people I've met rom the northeast united states had a HS education equivalent to Germany. The rest of the America is in a sorry state.

The main christian factions here, evangelical christians and protestants, hate education and knowledge and are taught it is vile. They try to dismantle state education systems, graduate eduation, research, department of interior, department of energy, etc. and put more money into domestic paramilitary groups like ICE and CBP.

>hate education and knowledge and are taught it is vile They don't. They aren't.
>They try to dismantle state education systems Tranny lectures, forcing kids to be around niggers, and giving niggers free diplomas is not an education.
> graduate eduation, research Based on university grants and nothing they can touch. Even then, repeating political opinions, advocating for castrating children, and saying we are all the same race, is not science, is not real research, is not education.
>domestic paramilitary groups like ICE and CBP. Those are federal groups.
I'm not a Christian, and I want to defund everything if I'm not allowed to exclude niggers from receiving funds. That simple, that's it.

thats not crazy most people are retarded idiots sounds like you are too, why the fuck would you get a D in an advanced class
thats like the doubly retarded
Hunter Taylor
Not him but some of the advanced placement classes I took in highschool were retardedly difficult because of powertripping teachers. I have a bachelor of science and to this day my ap us history class was the hardest class I ever took. I'm including a college research project that spanned over 200 pages and required 2 semesters
Jeremiah Gutierrez
You are a LARPing idiot and never went to college.
Angel Ward
Here I thought your dumb ass is whining over STEM fields, but no, you are whining over fucking grade school math. You are either retarded or black. Especially since it seems you're American, you have even less reason to whine. Absolute pitch black gorilla
Levi Peterson
Why would I lie so specifically? That class was fucking hard, at the beginning of it I remember we started with like 25 students and by the end of the first month of school 3/4 the class had dropped out. These were all type-A kids that were in other advanced classes with me, too, they weren't stupid. The teacher got off on giving us a ridiculous amount of homework and required college 400-level class degree of writing
just ignore him, Any Forums is just a bunch of retards claiming they know your life in order to justify their world view. they claim you are wrong despite talking about patterns you see across the country or what have you.

I find it funny how he clammed up quickly

schools are desperately trying to push le stem meme onto kids because they know the education system as it is now (pushing out socially retarded zoomer kids who can barely read) is unsustainable. theres a reason most jobs are outsourcing their work to other countries, american zoomers are illiterate, lazy retards and companies know that. Its too late though, kids would rather be on tiktok and become youtubers rather than scientists and engineers. Meanwhile kids in China want to be astronauts. Ive read many stories of the shit that goes on in American public schools, they are an absolute dumpster fire

How am I supposed to survive without the diploma? Become a drug dealer?

don't even deny that I'm black. My skin color just plain doesn't matter in this situation so I never mentioned it.

>doesnt list what department/college
what's the point? you have a Bsc in....something? how impressive...
