Algebra gas no purpose nowadays? Are you kidding? Every field in science needs it, from engineering to astrophysics! Maths is universal. If there are aliens out there, they gotta be studying it too. Also it keeps your your brain working. Algebra is logic, is intelligence. Maths might be the most important subject once you've learnt to read and write, and that's why countries like china and India are investing a lot in it. If you don't understand algebra it's your fault or the school's, but not algebra's itself. I hope you gain more common sense. The kind your mom didn't teach you, and dealing with bullies, to some extent, will help you grow up. I'm sorry i added that insulting comment but you americans take nothing seriously unless it sounds badass and cruel
I was homeschooled as a child (through preschool to middle school), but I always wanted to go to a school and I convinced my parents to bring me to one in high school. Haha #regrets

The education system is terrible because it's geared towards GIRLS. Plain and simple
You have 1 sex soaring and the other dropping out because school is boring and non-tolerant towards boys and their general learning style
more than 80% women teachers, and over 95% in elementary and below
No one gives a fuck about guys. Neither society nor education.
I noted the gender thing about it. Did you read the whole Take?
I did
The explanation is just more complicated than it needs to be
Sometimes, simplicity is best

I've heard it said, yes.
Good so
The most common question in my Algebra class was, "when are we ever gonna use this?"
And I am supposed to do a FL Algebra test in two weeks because I didn't pass it the first time... I seriously don't care anymore.
Good luck for the test! I hope you pass this time :)
@Cccgala Thank you!

Partly true.
why not fully?
Because it still is not the entire answer for how the education system is failing them. You need to read the whole Take.
well... I don't want to be rude... so I am not gonna comment anything on your take.
You are free to say whatever you think, that's the point. I wanna hear what people think.
okay... sooo...
1. algebra is the shit that makes the world run... its no bullshit... without algebra we won't be as advanced as we are now.
2. stres is what life is all about... so exam stress is necessary... because it makes us ready for the upcoming major stress in our life
3. Not everyone is a genius...
4. people work out best when they get a job of their own brain level...
5. Education nowadays is all about... the diploma or the degree you get... not what the child wants.
P. S THE MAJOR RULE HERE IS "SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST"
This is why I wish I was homeschooled instead. I think my parents and I would've did a better job than the education system.
America has always sucked. Their children (and adults) are so stupid.
1. I'm not American or from America
2. I was homeschooled all my life so I don't care.
You don't know algebra... the entire educational system sucks. Yeah, I don't think so.
*facepalm* It's not just algebra that's the problem.
hi there! It’s great site. so many topics and opinions. I used to read, basically washingtonpost but now your site one of my favorites. Thank you!
I always thougt algebra was really easy, but I am studying to become an astrophysicist
You DID? What in the world is easy about that? Lol.
I dunno, it just made sense
So you can understand quadratic equations, slope, and all that stuff?
Yeah.
Being dyslexic I always preferred maths to essays including algebra calculus etc
There's no place to downvote so here 👎🏼
You mean a downvote for the system?
I thought algebra was easy.
Have you done quadratic equations, slopes, and Y-intercepts?
Yes easily I learnt them in seventh grade and wouldn't of passed to eighth grade if I didn't.
