The funniest part about these stupid memes is that if they taught you how to do all these things in 6th grade, by the time you graduated the process would have changed enough to make your entire education worthless.
that's true of any form of complex thinking. I have a friend who repairs elevators and stays up all night solving those problems in his head. we have all experienced that nagging feeling of wanting to find a solution to a situation that is optimally targeted to my level of skillet AND interest. this is not unique to math.
Honestly, I feel like teachers could have done a better job communicating this. It's not really about knowing trigonometry and the quadratic formula - it's about training your brain to handle more complicated problems. And if you do end up using those specific concepts later on, so much the better!
Yeah and if your taxes get complicated, you can afford to have someone do them for you. Complaining that schools don’t teach us how to do our taxes is dumb. If a school teaches you how to use a computer, you can do your taxes.
How do I get a job? You fill out a piece of paper with information that you know because it your personal information. How do I pay taxes? You use one of several online tax programs where you fill out a form with information that you know because it’s your information. How do I buy a house? You talk to a bank and realtor and let them do their jobs. Then you use your money from your job to buy the house.
Funny enough we just wrapped up resumes and most of my students still have down pretty well, but there’s plenty that just fighting me over every step and not taking it seriously.
If you can't spend some time teaching yourself skills like these in this day and age then you're a dumbass and a part of the problem. Internet? Library? Knowledgable friend?
Honestly plenty of home ec options once you hit high school most places. Most of you probably just went "whatever, that's for girls" and didn't take it. They literally had a quarter of the class dedicated to personal finance and another dedicated to cooking for yourself.
School teaches useful critical problem solving which OP would know if they probably didn’t drop out. Yes. Not every single day you use the exact formula’s, some people do, not everyone. And how to pay taxes? Really? Just fuckin buy something and taxes paid. Send a check when asked? How to buy a house? Find a realtor.
True true! OP just plain stupid. And the worst part is a bunch of braindead people my age will probably just think "school bad" and upvote this post and give it fivehundredbazillion awards.
School have enough problem growing your brain already, it's your job to fill it with required information. Plus, your parents suck if they never told you any of that and you sucks cuz you never asked them and keep blaming school.
I heard there were times when people had the ability to reseach and find knowledge on their own. Actually most of this time they did not have internet.
Have you studied history? Had the ability to research?! From what did they research in the 1400? Their only source of knowledge was the church. And today, people are totally unable to look up stuff, I have worked in customer care for a while, and people are dumb as shit. Touch grass.
When I was in school we literally were taught these things, and people still complained about the same thing down the road because they didn't actually pay attention.
I had a class that did teach us these skills, but I didn’t want to learn anyways. I now know what people mean when they say they would go back and do it all over.
Wtf are these comments. Ostensibly, public school does not prepare kids enough for adulthood and rely on families to teach their kids a lot of basic skills like these. Well guess what, a lot of families are abusive and/or don’t know how to do these things themselves. What’s the point of having this institution to teach children if not to teach them useful things?
It's actually fool proof because if you're too useless to figure out how to get a job on your own, you're probably too incompetent to have a job in the first place anyways. And if you don't have a job you don't need to pay taxes and can't afford a house. All 3 problems solved
Well, when I feel life couldn’t get any worse…..it’s too expensive to eat or put gas in the car, I always find there’s nothing a good quadratic equation can’t solve
That’s called the discriminant and the quadratic formula is where Δ comes from. It was chosen because it is a good indicator of how many real roots a degree two polynomial has based on the behavior of the square root function.
Literally all of you are ignoring the fact rhat the EDU system only teaches us maybe one or two useful things. And absolutely refuses to teach us how to get a guaranteed job out of high school, how to do taxes, or any of that shit.
I can tell you for a fact that teenage me would have fallen asleep much faster in a personal finances class covering the tax system than I would have in math class lol
You learn that shit to get into a college then to get a job then earn money. Ain't nobody asking you for taxes if you don't earn money. And neither can you buy a house without money.
I also spent a week doing taxes and advanced money stuff. It seems these lessons are more prevalent in Canada. But even then, I have some problems with the system:
I thought the main point of the school system is make you competent enough to get a job. I just think that a job would be good enough to be prepared for life
So glad the career I chose involves no math. Seriously, high school math was made by some sadistic devil, no matter how much I practiced, somehow I would forget some stupid little thing and get everything wrong. It's like it was made to prank you
Go back and do your hw

Math teaches complex problem solving skills and literally hard wires the brain to more successfully solve ANY problem … the more you know folks
So I am stupid after all, huh? 🤔
Every time I tell someone this, it instantly clicks and they understand.
This explains why im so stupid
But the tiktok youth only want to know how to pay taxes and work in the mines all day...

I have a disability in math guess I’m screwed
I'm great at math, not so much at solving my own problems.
And you need math for many high paying jobs, so there's that.
[удалено]
Give me one way I’ll use that as a professional carrot farmer
I’m partially agree with you, but I still want school to teach some friendship things.
I question this because I’m relatively ok at problem solving and logic flows (if this, then that type stuff) but I’m shit at math
Honestly, I feel like teachers could have done a better job communicating this. It's not really about knowing trigonometry and the quadratic formula - it's about training your brain to handle more complicated problems. And if you do end up using those specific concepts later on, so much the better!
Incidentally, the people who can't get a job or pay taxes also couldn't figure out how to use the quadratic formula while they were in school.
I feel attacked lol
[удалено]
quadratic formula isn’t hard math at all
Definitely, OP chose the wrong hill to die upon.
[удалено]
I don't remember how to do it anymore and why/for what. But yes it wasn't hard for me at school as I recall.
I was taught this when I was 13...
bruh turbo tax does ur fucking taxes for u lmao. now go do ur homework little homie
Yeah and if your taxes get complicated, you can afford to have someone do them for you. Complaining that schools don’t teach us how to do our taxes is dumb. If a school teaches you how to use a computer, you can do your taxes.
If all these were school classes, you still wouldn’t pay attention
Love the "you"
Imagine looking at the state of the world and saying, “you know, we need even fewer people who understand science and math”

I prefer a mortgage advisor to any one bank, but you’re spot on!
Worst take. The same kids who don’t give a shit about math arent going to give a shit about tax class
These memes always make me sad.
/im14andthisisdeep
or better, would you even remember by the time you have to do taxes?
Maybe your personal finance covered taxes. My teacher (football coach) didn't know how to round numbers
I’m learning finance in school right now
Same! The US defaultism here is insane!
I actually needed to use this today
It was on my math homework
Fun fact: if you rearranged the variables and cube root the numerator... you can actually create a good formula to calculate el que lo lea es puto
Me cago en la leche
lmao no me lo esperaba
Don't teach me marketable skills! Just show me how to get a job dummy!
-dummy who did not, in fact, manage to get a job
Bruuuuuh get back to school mf

I know life is just riddles u have to solve right
Stupid take
Literally everything about this is on YouTube for free
Am I the only one who sings this equation in their head to the tune of Pop Goes the Weasel?
The hell do you mean "how do I get a job"? You goddamn apply lmao
You apply and have a degree showing that you were competent enough to at least fake your way through a few difficult learnings.
Math is literally how you pay taxes lmao how tf are you going to understand anything about finances if you don’t even know algebra?
W3 have courses about this in France and nobody listens ^
So glad as a parent I don’t need to teach my kid anything.
Honestly plenty of home ec options once you hit high school most places. Most of you probably just went "whatever, that's for girls" and didn't take it. They literally had a quarter of the class dedicated to personal finance and another dedicated to cooking for yourself.
I literally had cooking and fiance in the same class in sixth grade!
Quadratic formula has always been the answer.
Ya man - quadratics are useless, literally no one uses them after school.
Math isn't about learning this or that formula, Math is about learning how and when to use it and knowing why it works.
well actually you need maths to learn how to do taxes :nerd:
Quadratic formula, right? Not even hard, just so time consuming…
School teaches useful critical problem solving which OP would know if they probably didn’t drop out. Yes. Not every single day you use the exact formula’s, some people do, not everyone. And how to pay taxes? Really? Just fuckin buy something and taxes paid. Send a check when asked? How to buy a house? Find a realtor.

failing makes other people money, wake up
They will ask to describe the quadratic formula during job interviews and expect you can solve for X.
Just complete the square
School have enough problem growing your brain already, it's your job to fill it with required information. Plus, your parents suck if they never told you any of that and you sucks cuz you never asked them and keep blaming school.
Dude what the hell i just learned about this yesterday
I heard there were times when people had the ability to reseach and find knowledge on their own. Actually most of this time they did not have internet.

When I was in school we literally were taught these things, and people still complained about the same thing down the road because they didn't actually pay attention.
Ideally parents should be teaching that. If not that the library usually offers resources for a lot of that stuff
I had a class that did teach us these skills, but I didn’t want to learn anyways. I now know what people mean when they say they would go back and do it all over.

You need math to solve taxes
Well, when I feel life couldn’t get any worse…..it’s too expensive to eat or put gas in the car, I always find there’s nothing a good quadratic equation can’t solve
God that formula gives me ptsd of high school when my math teacher made me sing this formula in front of the class
What situation led to this??
Also students when taxes becomes a subject
Why would a maths teacher teach you how to get a job
Despite what some are saying in response, it seems the cartoon has a valid point.
Useless for your current profession? Sure, but that information might be critical for others.
I had finally forgotten this equation.
What happened to the old house?
I hate that I know exactly what this is and when to use it
everyone does..
Me calculating how much is a Cheetos after I bought lays:
Stonk go up, stonk go down
Why this doesn't use delta but under square root there is formula for delta?
That’s called the discriminant and the quadratic formula is where Δ comes from. It was chosen because it is a good indicator of how many real roots a degree two polynomial has based on the behavior of the square root function.
So we’ve really all had this formula engraved in our heads for no reason whatsoever

Mar=Mv2/r
Ø=∆ABcos(a)
That's the most advanced math I know. Anything after that feels like another language
All good. You likely don’t need much more unless you’re planning on going into a scientific or technological field.
X(t)=Acos(wt+ø)
Is it not D= b²-4ac that leads to that formula?
I know what is the powerhouse of the cells

My school taught us how to do taxes. Am I the only one
I also spent a week doing taxes and advanced money stuff. It seems these lessons are more prevalent in Canada. But even then, I have some problems with the system:
Don’t clown on quadratic equation, I’ll have to fight you
I forgot this formula in Today's test
Dumb take.
school definitely teaches you about getting jobs lol
I wanna back to first grade)
The quadratic formula is pretty important tbh. Maybe it's cause I'm an engineer, but I feel like everyone should know that.
Bruh, that
How to buy homes in America 101: You can't afford it and never will be able to. The end.
I can appreciate this but those are things your parents should have taught you too.
Ugh this reminds me how the school system doesn’t prepare you for life. They just want you to learn y=mx+b or whatever.
I thought the main point of the school system is make you competent enough to get a job. I just think that a job would be good enough to be prepared for life
IMO the quadratic equation is actually good to know.
You don't, you have to even if you can't and you don't.
it feels lile heaven when you use b² - 4ac
Pq is superior
I just know people pushing for a "life skills" class like that will not pay attention in it.
Factoring is faster
Schools: Not my problem. But don't forget to pay me.
Exactly why I hated school
Ебать как жизненно))
The good old quadratics formula 😂
It's literally putting the numbers from one box in another box FFS.
So glad the career I chose involves no math. Seriously, high school math was made by some sadistic devil, no matter how much I practiced, somehow I would forget some stupid little thing and get everything wrong. It's like it was made to prank you
It was made to make you learn to avoid missing little details that can lead to the wrong outcome.
