I really hope you don't get to make maths teaching plans for school. That advanced maths or more should only be forced if you plan on attending such an education higher on.
yeah I agree. I HATED geometry in highschool and I've never used it once outside of school. Imo most of what you learn in highschool is absolutely worthless, and you spend far too much time learning things you'll never have a need for unless you go into a science or math career. I think more practical life skills should be focused on and taught in highschool.
I have a lot of opinions about how the education system is broken but I doubt that all of them are unpopular.
Yeah we were forced to take somewhat advanced math(unless u took science classes then u had to take like 5 maths classes lol rip) in high school and i can say I never used maths beyond the four basic things(+, -,x, /) ever.
If you were my teacher, I'd die. I didn't pass my algebra 1 EOC back in my FRESHMAN year of high school, I failed 2 or 3 times total.
For me I couldn't understand why so many people would fail the English classes, there was alot of remedial English students back in high school.

I think the one part that makes Algebra so hard is the introduction to variables (letters). The fact that you can’t combine them with numbers in addition or subtraction and the fact that we’re used to having just one number as our final answer for a long time is what throws us off track (since we have to leave number and letter addition as an expression as our final answer). It’s also worth noting that multiplying them just leaves a number in front of a letter (example: 7 * r = 7r). If the variables isn’t what you struggle with, then what is it that makes it too hard?
As a bonus, I written a blog entry last year about when math starts to get hard. If I can remember what made it hard, multiplication is the first nail in the coffin. Division is worse. Then you have to deal with negative numbers, exponents, roots, decimals, and fractions. All of this makes math very difficult, and what’s even worse is that all of that is basic math. And then we get to Algebra, the turning point in math’s difficulty curve. If you want to read, here is the link:

Lucky for me, I’n good at math, which is why I was able to do Algebra 1 early (in middle school) and why I understand Calculus. I’m almost done with Differential Equations. If there’s anytging I struggle with, it has to be proofs. Even in high school, proofs in Geometry are harder than finding the length of a curve (a Calculus related concept).

I don't really understand why people would want to watch movies in 3d, IMAX, or something. How much does it really affect your experience? And extra price for that too? Watching in regular screens is good enough for me and nothing more. Before someone tries to say otherwise, I did watch a movie one time in 3d. It didn't change my experience aside from having to wear glasses.
I once did a poll to see how many people actually their 3d feature on their 3ds. Very little people said yes. It’s cool but sometimes I forget it exists.
I like 3d because it feels more immersive. I feel less like I'm watching a movie and more like I'm in a movie

and well y'know life is cinematic...
I really dislike 3D and will never pay to see a movie in 3D. First of all, I wear glasses so having to wear a second pair over top of my first pair of glasses is really awkward and uncomfortable. Then, I have a hard time focusing on 3D movement, so rather than feeling more immersive, it ruins the experience for me. It makes me feel like I'm missing something anytime there's action and I have to strain my eyes too hard so it gives me a headache.

I hardly visit the theaters nowadays, but I can say this much. I don’t like watching movies in 3D. It makes me sick, especially when I had a history of seizures.
I know right, I felt that way when I saw a 3D film last time.
I also had a migraine attack in the evening after the film, though I'm not sure if it was because of the 3D or not. But it could've been.

Yeah it's basically effects and since I wear eyeglasses as well it looks pretty dumb lol

hey, adora
I think anything Avengers related is boring. I'm not a fan of anything superhero related.
I think if you're going to pay to watch a movie instead of or alongside buying/streaming/whatevering it later to watch at home, you may as well go for something like IMAX if you can. You're paying to watch a movie once, go big if the option is there.
With slight change to your argument, what's the point in paying like ?10 to watch a movie once at the cinema when I could wait a few months to buy the bluray for a couple pounds more and watch it as many times as I want to? The experience really isn't that different, IMO...Arguably better actually since I don't run the risk of crying kids, people who won't STFU, overpriced "meh" food and drink or (depending on the cinema) dirty premises.
As for 3D, I can't comment. I don't do 3D. I can't really "get" the effect and all it does is give me migraines, so I avoid it anyway.
