Subject: I'm tired and fed up with bad teachers

I'm tired and fed up with bad teachers

I'm struggling in honors precalc. I want to get an A in the class, but no matter what I do, I can never get perfect scores like a few kids in the class. Sometimes I wonder if there is a conspiracy going around, but I look past it. As of now, I decided its time to put it in my own hands and start trying to fight this.


My teacher teaches bull-blam!- easy notes and then hard homework. Then she grades the homewokr strictly. Then the problems on the test look nothing like what was on the homework. What are some good websites and youtube channels to learn the class? We are on the trig portion in the class, so its TRIG. I know somoene here must of been in my own shoes, how did you guys get really good at it? I want it to be piss easy like Algebra 1 is to me right now.

IF you're struggling talk to your teach first then seek other help. I hear kahnacademy is a good site.

I've had my share of bad teachers. But theres nothing you can really do because the unions will protect them no matter how terrible they are.

Great minds discuss ideas

Average minds discuss events

Small minds discuss people

Trigonometry is just memorization of values and formulas, along with some manipulation of equations. Basically, the only way to get better is through repetition.

Math is full of bullcrap

Deal with it.

Math classes are taught poorly to begin with. You take the test, and never go back to the material, which doesn't allow you to fully understand it at all.

Not all snipers hit their target on the first shot.

BTW ask for help or your screwed.

Did you really open this thread and feel inclined to post something like this? You disgust me. People like you are probably the people that get no respect at school and vent on others on the internet. Fight me in real life kid, I'll -blam!- your -blam!- up. And if you actually read it instead of being a judgmental prick, you would realize I was asking for help

I'm not -blam!-ing, Im just asking for what I should do in order to do something about. Damn people on the flood are so stuck up today. I've been working hard in this class and other classes, and whatever I've been doing has not been working for me, so tats why I need to teach myself differently.

So true. My teachers (majority) in high school have had problems with me. Some were racist, others thought there class was the only important one, others didn't care. S.hit sucls

Mreh.

Use the Textbook.

They gave it to you to use, not to weigh down your backpack.

Sometimes I wonder. I've had to buy a few "required" textbooks that turned out to be completely useless.

I've had the same experiance...sadly I have no advice I was never able to do good most I could get would be a C average.

I usually just looked in examples in the book. My teacher was pretty good too though, and I'm good at math, so I don't know if looking in the book will help you.

Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.
I wish ignorance was a plague.

When the teacher is bad, use the textbook.

Math isn't a terribly difficult thing to learn on your own, but having good teachers is definitely important.

Note that the hard questions that you are given for homework are actually good. It makes you think harder, and allows you to teach yourself more effectively, however if all the questions are difficult, then it's just kind of demoralizing.
