math fucks me up
I mean fuck why do we need to know the pythagorean theorum, when are we gonna fucking use that in real life?
(but the pythagorean theorum is one of the only things I sort of understand???)
like me and sally are in a pre alg. concepts class, (which also makes no sense bc we started algebra 1 this year???) (school systems also fuck with me) and we use these little pawns and dice to figure out problems. the pawns are the x's (ex. 4x=four pawns) and the dice for real numbers. and our fucking teacher goes "you can't use a calculator because you wouldn't just pull one out in real life and start using it." now, these are smaller numbers we're working with so I was okay with that, but that damn sentence that came out of her mouth was completely ridiculous.
what the fuck, we aren't going to pull out a calculator? it's called a phone. and what do you expect us to do with fucking pawns and dice in real life? we aren't going to pull out some pawns and dice, start sitting on the floor in the middle of a grocery store and do your goddamn algebra problems.
raise your hand if you use pawns and dice to figure out anything in real life!
