Not at the time, my FRiend. Not at the time.
But the real reason is EXACTLY the same. And these are the same people.
Michael Gearson said it best.
Isn't "allegra" some sort of cold remedy?
Or are you alluding to algebra in a different form, by a different name?
I’m sorry, I’ve heard of the horrors of catholic school but I always held out hope it wasn’t real.
Bill and Johnny each drove to a location 30 miles away and back to their starting point by the same route. 60 mile total each car.
Bill drove 60 miles per hour for the trip. Johnny however drove 90 mph to the turnaround point and due to car problems could only go 30 mph on the return trip. Who got back first?
Some nuns were OK. Girls had a lot easier time with them.
You realize that Algebra stimulates the reasoning and analytical side of the brain, don’t you?

U b want’n me tu b actin whit3?
Bill would make it back first. One’s intuition would be they would get there at the same time but that is wrong.

Correct on both counts.
I will agree it’s taught poorly today.
Thank you very much for the link!!
My 14 year old is starting this..
Teens need a little bit of encouragement to get through this. It’s a wonderful thing for them to be successful and fill their self-esteem cup.
IOW, it’s a hurdle, not an insurmountable one. Best of luck to her. Kudos to you for looking over her shoulder. Kudos.
What I drilled into my own kids heads, when it can to Algebra was .... with Algebra, you can’t miss one thing, one time, one lesson...or the train will leave the station without you. You’ll get lost , real fast ...and the downward spiral begins.
All the best.
