Teachers..

As background, my multiplication problems tend to look like this:
 5 4
   58
 x35
 ------
 2030

Wait wait wait, THAT'S how you do multiplication? And they had a goddamn PROBLEM with it? What the hell? That's pretty much the ONLY way they teach you multiplication. How the hell else are you supposed to do it?

Multiply the five and the eight, write down 40 underneath the line, multiply five and five, write down 25 and an extra zero under the 40, multiply three and eight, write down 24 and an extra zero under the 250, multiply three and five, write down 15 with two extra zeros under the 240, draw another line, add up 40+250+240+1500 and put 2030 under the second line.
Pisses me off whenever someone does that whole process on my sheet of paper to demonstrate how to do it in "the proper, easy-to-read" manner.

Ah. That's what they meant. What grade are you in, where you have to show that? I only do that with the kids I tutor so they can see what the hell I'm doing. If you're anywhere past like fourth fucking grade you shouldn't have to do that.

Tenth. My calculus teacher is good at teaching, except for multiplication.

Fucking high school? What the hell? They should have stopped expecting that by at least eighth grade! Is your calc teacher exactly like this meme? Sure sounds like it.

No, but there are just some things that fit her. Like deducting points for an incorrect extra credit opportunity question.

Deducting points...extra credit...what? I fucking hate your teacher more than even my asshole roommate and I haven't even met her.

Granted, it was only for "really incorrect" answers. Saying that Maryland's state flower is the sunflower doesn't score or lose any points, but "being a smartass" and saying that it's cornbread loses you a point off of your grade.

But still...it's extra goddamn credit.

Made me laugh. +1 good sir.

Wait hold the fuck up, why are you doing simple 5th grade multiplication in calculus?

No calculators allowed on a section of a worksheet.

oh... that's lame lol

You get detention for that. You must go to a small private school.

My private school is small and they encourage us to try and prove ourselves to other teachers.
Except maybe one teacher...
*shudder*

I always remember my teachers through elementary and junior high telling me that shit, It was retarded when I could do the multiplication, division and all the other stuff in my head, for the most part. Then, My grade 9 math teacher would essentially tell us

'Okay, so this is how you multiply polynomials... (Etc etc)'
He'd show us the long stupid way, then say
'Now, Here is the easy way to do it that the school board doesn't want to teach you because they think you're too stupid to do it any faster'
Probably my favorite math teacher. Now, if only he didn't base 15% the end grade on Homework....

I always thought this guy was a good teacher.

Yeah this was last year. I'm taking astronomy now lol. My friend is taking AP chem this year, he's considering suicide right now.

How the hell do you drop algebra? In our HS Algebra and Geometry were absolutely required to get your diploma

i only need three years of math, so if anything i would have to take it again next year and drop my senior study class (get to come in to school late, or go home early depending on 1st or 8th period) but then again, that would really suck

there's more then one teacher for algebra and in the school i go to you only need Geometry and one of any other

On the last day of school last year, the last period of the day, our chem teacher's trying to teach us new shit. Halfway through the period, she asks me to solve a problem. I've been drawing the entire time, so I have no fucking clue what we're doing. She starts yelling at me for never paying attention. I've been quiet and attentive every fucking day of my high school career. I stand up, go to the board, take the marker and draw a huge ass dick on the board. I turned to her and just said, "Fuck you, bitch." I put on my Kamina sunglasses and jumped out the window, limping home.
MFW it was a third story window and I shattered my left leg, but I looked like a total badass.

You're joking right?

I never joke about awesome shit.

Paying attention or just thinking of your stuff when suddenly...
Teacher: Alba, stop talking to your partner!
Me: What? I wasn't even...
Teacher: Oh, so you will complain? Get out from the class
Me: Okay...

i know that feel bro.
one day my friend was talking to me about this movie. i had to stand up.

would ya look at that.

FUCK YO COURT NIGGA!

"Icantusecaps"

wat

that's how i am in spanish class. i get asked a question in spanish.

"... sí."

mfw put on the spot

My apologies, Precalc tends to use mph, while Physics typically uses m/s, so I mixed up the units.

Clearly you've never taken a real-analysis class. Calculators don't help much when you have to prove that 0 = -0

To be fair, a lot of calculators can do a reasonable amount of calculus, so if you were only up to first year or so, you could probably just type in the question to get a solution. When you're teaching, calculators should only really be used for things you learnt at least a year or so ago.

That probably wasn't what the teacher was talking about, just playing devil's advocate.

My professor doesn't let us use calculators either, feels bad man

Bitch plz

>Complete 6 of a type of question
>Teacher says I did two without showing extra step and MUST BE CHEATING!
>mfw

<mfw that happens.

mfw when people actually go to detention.
