Thanks! I know I can beat a 5th grader. :p

No but really, we didn't start learning Area until Grade 7, or 8 maybe. We learned Perimeter earler, but as for learning Area, Volume and Circumference, that wasn't until jr. high.

I learned the most though in high school grade math. I didn't go to much high school when I was a teenager, but I did get my HS equiv. attending a college and that's when math was actually fun. Probably because I understood it and wanted to learn, but they say when you get older things are easier to learn.

Anyways, moving on. :)

I know, I know, REM is that band from Georgia that was big in the 90's. Right??? Either that or Random Exited Masturbation. I suffer from that ailment myself ;)

Seriously though, it seems to me that school is getting easier. I used to date a girl who's sister taught English in high school. She was showing me papers that her students had written, that she was giving A's and B's to. They would have been D's, C's at best, when I was in school. She wanted to grade harder but was told she had to be more lenient in her grading.

Who knows, maybe they are throwing harder and garder stuff at kids these days, but it doesn't seem like they really care if they learn it anymore.

I think the show is biased, Who remebers anything from 5th grade? You can be rusty..seeing you never use this stuff in the real world.

Besides, School is nothing more than a controling device for childern.

We dont need no education.. We dont need no thought control.

not when its sin and cosine and tanget,

triangles get pretty tricky,

especially when you must prove when two triangles are similar using deductive reason

i thought it was funny actually... the black chick made 100K, while the white dude who graduated from ucla with a 3.0 GPA only made 5k.... o.0 wtf is that shit? (btw, just incase this might get construed, i only say the black chick so people will know who i'm talking about now and in the future should this thread re-rise... the point is lmfao... that someone won like 95 more thousand, than someone who literally shoulda walked away with 1 million... )

that show is kind of funny lol

sin cos and tan are very nice when it comes to substituting in calc... they can be suprisingly helpful... but then of course they always come back to bite me in the ass in Phys C...

Algebra is a neat math tool too. You'd be surprised how much you use it everyday. It can simple, or it takes time to write it out on paper. You can find unknown angles if needed for welding or building something. Unknown distances, or even simple adding of money is algebra based too.

Algebra is my favorite math thing to do. I used to get ripped in college and do my homework for hours after class. I kicked ass at it.
