Oh good Lord.....what a bunch of candy-assed, lazy-minded bulls**t. Algebra is pretty basic math and it is NOT that freakin’ hard, folks.
We’ve become a dumbed-down nation of morons.
Agreed. How could you even successfully live life without Alg1 and Geometry ? You can’t even re-proportion a recipe without solving for X - wtf ? I get no calc or trig or AB but jeez -
When I learned Algebra, it was 90% regurgitation of formulas and proofs you were expected to memorize. If you had a bad memory, you were screwed. I’m not sure how it is taught now, but in my time, both Algebra I and II were closed book tests and quizes so you had no access to any formulas or proofs. The teacher had the same difficulty. She would copy proofs from her notes onto the board, but could never solve anything without looking it up in her notes or in the book.
