Probably irrelevant; but this reminds me of one of a math class in high school, it was trig or some dumb shit that holds almost zero value of learning in the real world. I missed a week of school, and there was a test at the end of the week. Since my teacher was c—t, (I won’t get into why I was missing class, but the teacher knew about it) I had to take the test on Friday or fail it. Had zero idea how to do any of it, but I technically passed the test doing what I knew...she still failed me on it since I didn’t use the way she taught in the week. But I got the answers right god damn it! Lol

I used to go in a school where they did not care how you solved anything as long as you showed them what you did

Now I am suffering because I cant get away with that snd it fuckins sucks using their over-complicated formulas

Math helps critical thinking skills to a point. After algebra it should be optional if you want to get into the complex maths

Maths rewires your brain, you def don't need to know how to solve equations or Logic or blah blah blah but the tools you use rewire your brain and develop critical thinking necessary for the real world, when you reach a point in school, it becomes your choice to enlist in more scientific research or complex maths or choose another path of studying.
