I have not written in here for so long that it's unbelievable, but I feel like doing so now.

I'm currently re-learning almost everything that has to do with math that isn't addition/subtraction or multiplication/division, like fractions and such. I actually like figuring out fractions. The thing is, I keep failing and then having to redo online math exams. It's so frustrating because I think I have the right answer - there is only ever one right answer - and it turns out that it's wrong. Here I think I'm doing it right, I get excited because of that, and it turns out I'm not right at all and I just feel like screaming. I feel so stupid for not being able to understand math. I don't hate math, I want to understand it, I should be good at it, but I'm not. What the hell is wrong with me?

I think part of the reason why I suck so bad is because of this crappy math book I have. More than once I found myself having to look up how to do a problem because the book explains it so poorly. What I really need though is a tutor.

And that is why, unless you're not an idiot at math like I am, you don't take correspondence classes. You sit there in an actual classroom and learn from a real live teacher.

What a mistake I've made. 0 Comments - Post/view comments
