I've been told my whole life that "It just gets harder"
Today in fucking college calculus my professor explained functions using a smiley face
"For example, F at a smiley face doesn't mean you multiply the smiley face. It's just a way of naming the function, which in this case is equal to a smiley face"
"What happens if you square the smiley face?"
This is education at its finest

It doesn't matter if it is explained as an idiotic thing, you see, your teacher was quite a smart guy to do that.
When you make it funny or silly it is more enjoyable to listen to, infact, it catches the attention of the entire class as everyone was waiting to hear more of the story.
The teacher used an old method of making everything funny.

After all, you still remember it, and you will for many years to come. Unless you suddenly develop Alzheimers.

It is a proven thing that you learn better when you associate with an emotion.

If I look at the with the basic psychological knowledge that I posses, I must say that that is only logical.

Do you have a scientific report on that? I could use that in discussions!

I'll look for one. I learned it in (of all places) my history class sophomore year, when a student asked the teacher why he always tried to piss us off.

it sounds like he was taking a complex idea and simplifying it to its fundamentals so that it can be taught to beginners

Typical excuse of people who never achieved their dreams because they didn't try hard enough. On the other hand there is a shitton of people who work so hard and finally achieve their dreams WHICH IS NOT ALWAYS being a rockstar, astronaut, model or actor.

I think the problem with the general education is that they make you solve a problem their way 1314124312 times and ignore every other way. If you solve it your own way, you dont get any points in the exam even though you did it right. For example in my last math exam i got the right answer and the right calculations but still only got 1/8 points cause i didn't do it as useless as they taught me.

I don't quite know where you live, but in my country, so long as the method you use follows a logical progression, shows all the necessary steps and isn't merely guessing at the answer until you find it, then you will get full points for it.

It is very rare, if not impossible to create another unique method of obtaining the answer(as you claim). Want to know why? It's simple, Math follows some very basic and very logical laws. Any method can be rearranged and what you think is a different method is more than likely just the original method with some of the steps rearranged and possibly removed.

Of course, I still fail the captchas on FJ, so what do I know?

I live in germany, and its not like i created a new way to get the answer, its mostly about ho w i wrote it down. For example the point of one part was to find out if x>0. In the task was written down a>0. I solved it and came to this x=2a And because its writte in the task that a is bigger then 0, i write down the conclusion that x is bigger then 0 and go on. I got no points for this cause i didnt explain why 2a is bigger then 0 even though it was in the fucking task. I asked my teacher and he told me: "Ich kann nur bewerten was im Heft steht." Trans. I can only count whats in your exam. That for example is complete nonsence.

I misunderstood your complaint and for that I apologize.

Your analogy however contains a common mistake and that's assuming something obvious to you is redundant to write. So common in fact that I don't know anyone, myself included, that hasn't done a variant of it.
Furthermore it's completely understandable in this case, I mean a>0 was something that was given in the task itself.
The thing is, a reader of your answers must be able to see how you arrived at your answer without looking at anything else.
Why? There is always a chance, that when you write anything less, the answer comes from a guess.

This is because of the level of education you're in. Schools are there to teach kids maths the way they want, to ensure they can perform the calculation they've deemed important for them to understand. Doing it another way may in fact be correct, but in schools they aren't necessarily testing this, they are there to ensure you can do what you've been told.

If you take maths at college/uni (or whatever your equivalent is) there is no more: "do this then repeat perfectly lots of times" and a lot more understanding how to formulate your own methods and how to prove what you did is correct. Proof in maths is literally the very core of the subject at higher levels of education.
