My view is in general math is badly taught.

Agreed. I don't know how to fix it though.

Good evening folks

All the sympathies. I have a brother like that. I still surprise him though. I'm not a linear thinker so make connections he misses. Case in point: the cops were taking DNA swabs in my other brother's small country town after a rape & BR1 was fussing that Br2 was rejected though he had voluntarily gone in. I pointed out if they had DNA from the scene then they probably had an ethnic profile & 75% of the population could be dismissed. That had never occurred to him. I learnt a long time ago my intelligence works differently to most people's... & I have @ least one child who is pretty much the same & of whom our Homeschool supervisor commented: You have different learners, don't you? Uh...yeah....

I like to hang with people who think differently. It is very revealing and I'm afraid that as I get older I have more trouble getting outside the box. The lack of elasticity in my brain these days screams out for creative thinking. I fear I've become too linear sometimes.

I agree as well. When is the last time you calculated the volume of an irregular shape without just submerging it in water? And why?

Now that my youngest is 30 I've gotten smart again. It's nice.

I look forward to being smart again...until I'm accused of dementia (sigh)

I have to keep reminding my girls I was running my life perfectly well before they came along & run it perfectly well when they aren't around to do it for me but they are convinced I'm totally clueless & in need of serious management help!

I can't in all honestly say the same. I will listen to my daughters. Both are a lot more sensible than I am. They very rarely critcise which goes to show just how senisble they are.

Like to see the "Law" try and convince a jury that Vets are "non-essential"

Vets are deemed essential services in Australia, although I know some are closed and some have put social-distancing measures in place.

LOL- Calculus brings back nightmares. I had to switch majors so I could take Calculus for dummies so I could graduate

I dropped down from Maths 1 to Maths 2 because of calculus!

I just got an email from mine regarding their being open and what they are doing to help with distancing, transmission of Covid to pets, and the importance of not skipping some routine procedures like worming, medications, and testing. That skipping preventative pet health care can make things far worse in the long run, and encouraging people to maintain their apprehend possible.
