@baldavino
42
Agreed time 100000000
Same here!@picy
@Baldovino hear hear
@picy lol
@Flightsonic that screen shot :P
I'm reading this in math class... Oh, we're done with a test so NO I'm not cheating
@Baldovino ahhh it's been I while, I don't remember
@jsaret yea
@Flightsonic yuck
@jsaret it's like a weird brainwashing thing where you learn the 7 habits and they incorporate the language of the 7 habits into your daily life, just look it up especially in 8th grade, how do you expect these kids to go around saying "be proactive and put first things first" and that type of trash
@Flightsonic interesting...
Have you heard of "The Leader In Me" Program @jsaret?
@jsaret ikr, at least I learned it the normal way while I still could (IE in kindergarten)
@Flightsonic yeah. It seems:
Goal of common core: Make math more understandable to those who struggle with it, while leaving the more advanced/smarter/etc...
Actual effects: Discourage those who struggle, and confuse those who don't, maybe even discouraging them.
WHYYYYY
we need more people in STEM!

That's common core
@jsaret In my math (well we moved like 11 units back for some odd reason) we were doing cross multiplying fractions (so to find x- we'd 1/2 x/4- easy) and we were doing all this complicated stuff and I blurt "Couldn't you just divide the denominator to get the other one, and whatever number you used, multiply the numerator to find x"
@TOPDOG7 How many roads must a man walk down?
You know, I'm studying physics in college. Never had to use common core math, but from all the pictures of it I've seen around the web and in life...it looks excessively pointless. Taking 3 from the 5 and getting 10+3 is how I do it in my head, but the question asking this makes me say "why???"
I know what you guys mean. Ever since "fog" became something legitimate in math, I've been lost.
Just got rid of comon crap....I mean core at our school. Feels good man.
@Baldovino but what is the ultimate QUESTION? Guess we have to wait another 10,000 years to find out...
The answer is 42. The answer is ALWAYS 42.
@MediocrePlanes I find the simple trig functions fun. I hate all other math
@Flightsonic
I am in trig and that confuses me...
