>>13795593God grade school math is so retarded. I remember in middle school we started learning negative numbers and algebra and all the retards went
>woaaaah letters in math??? This is so hard/stupid...Meanwhile I just thought "using some stand-in variable/letter to generalize an equation? That makes sense!"
The teachers routinely used shit like tiles or number lines so the retards could understand. I routinely finished everything early and the teacher's strategies for dealing with me were to (a) take me aside and explain that I'm setting a bad example by goofing off in class and (b) give me more work to keep me busy.
School is way too fucking slow. Even my AP calculus class I would roll in late, sit down, not take any notes and just stare at what the teacher would write down because it all made sense intuitively.
Why yes I'm bitter, how could you tell?
