I've never been to the principal's office since I pulled this other kid's pants down when I was six. My excuse was "I was trying to help him pull them up but he freaked out and ran away"... or something like that.
Some math is completely useless...I mean in the real world, have you ever had someone walk up to you on the street and say, "I'll give you a million dollars if you can factor this trinomial." I even asked my algebra teacher why we needed to learn some of the less important stuff, and he looked at me, blinked, and then just walked away...
Yeah, I think some of the math they teach is a waste of time... nobody is ever going to need to know how to do some of these awful things. Ever. However, basic math, (like adding and subtracting), is incredibily important. And it's something I can't do. I really can't. I can't add in my head. Not even the most simple of numbers. Like 8+5. I have to think about this for full minutes before coming up with an answer of 13. That is sad. I was applying for a job as a waitress, and part of the application was a test adding up totals. I couldn't do it. Needless to say, I didn't get hired. I just find it pathetic I can figure out long, drawn out algebraic equations, however I can't add. That's so... ... sad.
hey katie, at least you can do algebra. i've been in the same algebra class three times and next year i'll be in fer a fourth. that's THREE YEARS OF THE SAME FUCKING CLASS. argh. -_- math is goode fer going to the bathroom fer fifteen minutes and eating and sleeping. oh, and interrupting the class with loud burping/farting. haahha i do not understand math at all. i just stare at the board. might as well speak to me in chinese....
haha, you lucky! i can't remember what i had yesterday...it wasn't chicken though, ahaha. i want me some chikkin sammiches...
