I don’t care why teachers give them or how good the reasoning is, being able to write an in class essay is not a useful skill for most people and they’re also hell, even if you get the prompt beforehand

The quizzes on the side of the website I’m using to help me figure out some essay shit were actually more boring than planning the essay. Which is quite the accomplishment
Walking through the hallways hard mode: have two clay projects in your backpack
You, an intellectual: 9+7=16
Me, with ADHD: if you take 1 from 9 and give it to 7 thats 8+8 and 8×2 is 16
Someone, usually a Teacher: NOT LIKE THAT YOU HEATHEN
This is literally how I would have done it
9 is a hungry bitch and takes one from 7, making it 10+6=16
VALID
THIS IS WHY I COULDN’T FIGURE OUT HOW TO SHOW MY WORK IN MATH. I’M NOT STUPID OH MY GOD
Wait did the way you were doing it not count? The point of showing work, I always thought was to.. make sure you could solve the problem? As long as you get the right answer it shouldn’t matter? (Unless the method doesn’t always work or you were supposed to be practicing a certain method)
No. Obviously you’re not stupid. Teachers were clearly the stupid ones.
No, we were always supposed to learn it the way the teachers taught us, and that was never the way. They didn’t care about teaching us the answers to equations, just how to get those answers, which made sense but I had trouble following. I always approached equation from a different angle and it was slow but I understood it.
In the vast majority of circumstances arriving at the right conclusion should be correct. There’s no reason other than being obnoxious and controlling to police the method most of the time. It just crushes originality and.. it’s just stupid on every level.

‘it’s not cold’ said the PE teacher with a coat on
#’it’s just drizzling’ said the PE teacher opening an umbrella
“running for 20 minutes isn’t that bad”, said the PE teacher from the chair
‘you’ve got to stay healthy’ said the PE teacher eating a mars bar
“being on your period is no excuse.” said the male PE teacher with no uterus
the fact that community colleges are seen as less valid and for “stupid” people is a result of classism and in this essay I will-
ppl in the tags saying that it’s “genuinely a lesser tier of education because people go there for trades and nursing and thats about it” are just proving that its classism. bc a) no thats absolutely not correct. a good chunk of people that go to community colleges do so to knock out their gen eds at a lower price than they’d be if they went to a four year, then transfer to a four year. and more importantly b) trade professions are not lesser than other professions that take higher degrees. people who go into things that take associates degrees are not “stupid”.
if you think ppl who are too poor to attend a four year university for all four years, or that ppl who are too poor to/don’t want to get their bachelor’s/master’s/doctorate are “stupid” then i have news for you:
thats classism, babe
Good afternoon, the academic culture of “if you’re not overworking, you don’t deserve success” is unhealthy.
