Mathophobia

So trying to learn some math for this super-important test as my teacher calls it.

Why do the teachers always choose the simplest and most logical equation to explain in class? They just make you feel like the topic is soo much simpler than the forerunner and then you get home, trying to revise looking like this:

"I thought algebra was my bro!

I thought we had that connection! 

I thought I was the chosen one to find your long lost "x" O'Maths :O"

Yeaaaah...NO! Maths teachers lie through every tooth in their mouth! Just wait till it's time for exams to start. Divine intervention is all I'll say. 

For instance:

This is what you do in class with your teacher:

-5y + 3 = 2 (4y+12)                                             y=?

This is what you get as a homework:

|x-a| = a^2 - x^2                                                 x=?

And then this is what you get served when it's exam time:

1.)  log2 (2x-1) + x = log4 (144) * {ab²}³*² - log³³ * sqr55% of 2567309874 \ 99.2% of 356%

Eddie the cockroach dies after this experiment, how much x was put into the formula and how long did Eddie have to live after the dose was doubled? 

2.) ...


And then you go ...O.O... MY MATHS TEACHER DID NOT MENTION ANY COCKROACH IN CLASS!!!  But of course no one listens, because every pupil your age is supposed to know everything about Eddie, including the cause of his death. That's just how life works.


Thank God for YouTube, because there's mostly someone who knows everything there is to know about Eddie and was probably present when the experiment on him took place. So after a few hours of YouTubing -you probably round the whole search up by watching one or more videos of how to communicate with giraffes and mice and then wonder how you even got there in the first place- you FINALLY understand why Eddie had to end that way and then you feel like this:

Eddie the cockroach died, simply because of hunger.
