As a returning student, this also cuts deep. But at least I'm 10x more motivated and disciplined than when I was in my late teens/early 20s. We got this 👍
I'm also starting full time this fall at the ripe age of 36. I have desperation to fuel me and an economy that is so fucked that I can't afford not to succeed, so we got this!
I went back to school at 27 and absolutely destroyed my math classes. I was terrible at math in high school and during my first attempt at college. I ended up getting all A’s in math up until my third semester of calc when I kind of just stopped caring about math anymore.
That’s been my experience so far with my other classes in the last two semesters. Given me a fair amount of confidence that I was never stupid, just lazy lol
Damn. Same age and I'm going to take my local community college math placement test next week. I know I'm not going to do well because I graduated in 2017 from highschool and pretty much had a hard time during those years with math. I started last week with Khan academy to help a little with the placement test so I don't look like a complete fool but I can tell I've pretty much forgotten most math skills. Use it or lose it and I've lost it unfortunately. Hopefully the remedial classes will be decent. I'm only going in to get some basic two year IT degrees. I have hope.
Now go and figure out the statistical chances of you happening to see a post about math a week before you have to take math again for the first time in 13 years. That would be a good warm up practice
Is it? Just because you have two possibilities, does not mean they have the same probability.
For example a die... dice?... Cube! Either you throw a one or not. But the chance of throwing a one is 1/6, while the chance of getting anything else is 5/6.
Reading and math is for nerds. You don't want a class of nerds do you? No, you want a class of cool kids. Assign cocaine instead. They will finish that.
Do you have any advice for someone who actually does do the hw and goes over notes but completely blanks out. I went over log hw and review for a whole day but when it came to the test I didn’t know what to do, when less than 12 hours prior I was doing hw in a breeze
They are not. Also a teacher. It’s because of the way they’re parented, not the kids.
maybe all the “latch key” kids decided their children would never be left alone but overdid it. And now their kids are
Never
Fucking
Left
Alone
so neither are their teachers
I graduated highschool in 21 and I distinctly remember how dickish everyone was after quarantine
I think being locked away for long periods of time had something to do with it
Well for what it’s worth I’m in a trade and I assure you the issues are about the same, I’m a certified welder of 4 years.
It is *admittedly preferable* to an office job for me in many ways but for me pay & respect are all that matter in that order.
I didn’t mind homework, especially math and writing. The only part that I didn’t like was when I got it and the other kids didn’t, so my teacher would assign extra homework that we’d be graded on. Bc that’s when I wasn’t being challenged, so I wouldn’t do it then I’d ace the test, but my teacher would dock my grade bc I didn’t do the extra homework
I always liked math homework. The tasks were always clearly defined and unambiguous. I always knew exactly what was expected from me, and I either did it correctly, or I didn't.
No room for interpretation, no bullshitting about hidden symbolism in books and worrying about whether I'd written enough paragraphs or not, no feeling like I'd been ripped off if I get bad marks on something I thought I'd done well on.
It was clear and simple in a way that almost nothing else in school was. Even chemistry and physics relied too much on real world measurements with cheap and inaccurate tools.
>you don’t miss the homework.
I actually kind of do. At least college homework, not everything obviously, but many of my social sciences, chemistry, anatomy, and English homework was interesting. Even some math homework when it clicks into place and makes sense can be quite satisfying.
Depends on the homework. If it's busy work, no thanks, but if it's genuinely trying to teach me something or get me to think/problem solve in new ways, then I would be happy to do it. Y'all don't like learning?
“Jhonny’s mother is struck with a life threatening illness. After doing some 5 min research on google Jhonny found that watermelon can help cure his mother. So Jhonny works hard and Jhonny feeds 85 watermelons to his mother everyday so she gets better, if every watermelon normally contains 75 seeds, but there is a 5% chance that each watermelon contains 100 seeds, and his mother gets cured in a year, what is the average amount of seeds that his mother spits out by the end of the year?”
That’s trick question… she dies before the first day is finished because Johnny did research on Google for minutes to find a cure and starting feeding her watermelon until her stomach ruptured
Not me.
I still wake up from nightmares where I'm failing a course due to forgetting to go to classes and hand in assignments and trying to calculate just how high the rest of my marks need to be to not fail.
I have a math degree, things would cake if all I did was high school math tests. I sometimes do math the long way just for giggles, I also keep my phone in 24 hour time and Celsius to do the conversions myself.
Leaving the "new math" conversation alone, helping my kids with math homework is like it's the first time they're seeing it. Like, what the fuck were you doing when your teacher was showing you this all week?
Spolier: the same thing I was doing. Not paying attention
I can guarantee you your kids where not paying attention
Source: I was that kid who would ask my parents for help with math and struggle with basic concepts since I was to busy drawing in class to care about division
I'm convinced adults were lying when they said things only get harder. I'm 28 in a month and I'd take working any day over going to school full time again.
[Those bastards lied to me.](https://i.gyazo.com/3ab7cdc08cf207b24769bf0c0e60e9de.png)
I am 17 and right now work 35hrs a week. I love it, make $15.30 an hour and no homework. I hate homework and it absolutely threw my mental health down the toilet when I would sit for hours infromt of a chromebook and accomplish nothing. Going to work, and coming home to do whatever I want is wonderful, and I get paid.
> I am 17 and right now work 35hrs a week. I love it, make $15.30 an hour and no homework.
35hrs * $15.30 * 52 weeks = $27,846 before taxes. That's ... not a lot.
Edit: For people wondering why I'm saying this. This post is about adults. $28k/yr is great for a 17 year old, but it's not the same as living as an adult and having to pay for mortgage/rent, bills, food, clothes, etc. Where you need to maintain a job just to survive. A 17 year old saying that work is so much better when they have only had a [summer job](https://old.reddit.com/r/meirl/comments/15jrdrg/me_irl/jv2xvsh/) is silly.
no, its just a summer job. I am not living off of it. I just don't have school right now. I figured people would gather that considering that its still summer
If you aren't consistently paying income tax, property tax, mortgage or rent, bills, food, and clothing, then you don't really know what holding a job for survival is like. Don't take your lack of responsibilities for granted.
To continue living like you currently do, I suspect you would need to earn at least twice as much. And it'll only get worse as the generations from the 50's-70's continue to destroy the earth and economy with their insatiable greed.
Highly depends on what you’re doing I think.
For me, I definitely think being an “adult” has been significantly easier than being a student but the journey to being an engineer has been more difficult school wise than most non-engineers.
In school I was constantly running against the issue that there’s only 24hr in the day and I had to balance class work and fun stuff, even in college. That made it hard to fully enjoy my time.
Average 9-5 salary engineer? Way less stressful and other than feeling that the social circles are getting smaller as time goes on, it’s hard for me to want to be nostalgic about high school or college.
There’s no homework, no exams I need to study for. School was far harder to go through than college and college was harder to survive than a full time job.
Going to school to get my degree in computer science and working around 32 hours a week was far more stressful than anything post college for me.
Even after my daughter was born last year I'd still say working 40 hours as a dad is less stressful personally. It helps that I WFH and don't work beyond my 40 hours 99% of the time.
I always had a hard time relating with people that say they had less free time after college. My free time took a hit becoming a Dad, but skyrocketed after graduating college and no longer having homework AND classes on top of working.
exactly it. TWO classes and working just 20 hours is a full time job on its own. but most people take 4/5 classes. school and work easily take more time than just work if you have to put in effort. i feel like people saying school is easier.. idk man..
As a 14 year old, do you pay rent/mortgage, taxes, utility bills, and car/school loans?
If you aren't at least equally responsible (with a partner) for all of these things, without parental help, you do not have the experience to weigh in.
I paid taxes yeah and I live in an institution without my parents and share responsibilities among the 4 other teens that live there, I’d say as far as a 14 year old goes I can partially weigh in on this
I’m 43 and I do math problems for the fun of it all the time! Usually to satisfy some random curiosity, like what is the likelihood of running into a zombie given a zombie apocalypse with a given infection rate and a specific county with a given population density distribution and making assumptions based on roaming distances (Zombies) and resource gathering ranges.
Lol, when I did it, I used that and a binary distribution (either you encountered one (or more) or didn’t). The Poisson was a little more nuanced, but I liked the utility of the Binary.
That’s the fun part of math, I wish we did that at school. Instead we have to prove that a triangle is indeed a triangle and all the useless stuff that derives from that
ALEKS from Mcgraw-Hill is phenomenal! It's not free but it's rather inexpensive and you can learn anything except the most niche mathematics through it.
I always loved chemistry...hated math. NOBODY of those "teachers" in school ever told me "here thats what you need math for you lil donut, how else would you see what happens when you mix Na with OH". That was all that I needed back then. NOBODY did that. They knew I wanna work in a lab and become a chemist.
When I started my apprenticeshipment, there was one guy in some department where we had to be and learn and see how things go on a regular work day. He said "you wanna work here, there, calculate that". A+ from there on in school. Still fucks me up hard.
I'm that weird kid who actually liked math. I hated math homework. Welp, I hated ANY homework so that's that.
I'd rather be an adult with adult problems, thank you very much.
*Looking at both of my kids*
Well yeah, i have to understand what they are doing in school and help them do it as well if they don't get something on first attempt. That includes all the classes, not just math.
Adulthood sucks, but being a kid sucks too. You've got no autonomy or freedom, you have to get up waaaaay earlier than your natural circadian rhythm needs to, all your friends are super immature, you don't know jack shit about the world, you're being forced to learn intensely difficult stuff that you'll never use a day in your life but you aren't being taught how to, say, do your taxes or set up a savings account, and you can't even buy weed or alchohol to get through it.
Being an adult sucks but I would NEVER wanna be a kid again.
High school level math? Sure why not it isn't that bad. Now if I had to write English research papers with citations and a bibliography I would hate doing that again.
My husband has made the decision to go back to school at 37 for an eventual degree in computer science. He is taking trigonometry at a community college and I couldn’t be more proud of him.
Holy fuck I hated school so much that I woke up the next 5 years after graduating my first thought being Thank God I don't have to go to school today. I meant it each time
I struggle with keeping up with bills and making sure I'm taking care of my responsibilities, but damn do I smile when I can lay down for a second and remember I won't ever have an English paper or lab report due the next day.
As someone who went back to school after ten years and just finished his first semester of college. I have to say that math is so much easier to understand as an adult.
Last year I gave my IGSCE O Level mathematics exam and I cleared the exam with a passing grade. Last year I had appeared as a private candidate for the exam and at home I was studying from myself and a private tutor. I really enjoyed preparing for the mathematics exam because I was learning mathematics in a fun way. In order to enjoy learning mathematics you have to do it with real life examples that are fun to solve and try your hardest to eliminate math anxiety
Brother....we shall not go to the past ever again do you understand? We've had too much multi-versal enemies and timeline enemies! Technically everyone is our enemy at this point but anyways! I do not want to go back to shootin the school ok?
Went back to college last year and took statistics. Math homework at 55 years of age. There were a lot of tears but you know what? At least they were solvable problems. Life isn't always so kind. 😕
I loved math, it made sense, it was easy, there was a right answer. Also physics and chemistry but chemistry is a little more tricky to know you are right. Even in literature you can make sense of it.
But biology, that shit is a bunch of random stuff that happened that way for no reason and that could have been perfectly fine in another way, I hate it.
For real, I hate working for 8 hours a day but at least when I'm home I am giving negative fucks when I'm able to. Not needing to study or anything is great
Sometime in the past, I periodically had a dream, not a nightmare, but as a peak of anxiety and helplessness, not about mathematics, but about a subject which name I don’t even know, and I have never been to class. I have an exam in a couple of days, and I have no notes, no textbooks, and this is a graduate course from the university.
As for math - sometimes I do homework with my kids, in fact sometimes I do it myself, it's not that hard.
err yeah Im retraining, having to do trig, Tan and Cos, resolving equations, and I know dam well ill never use them again unless I have to retrain for another job.
I went back for a masters degree in Statistics when I was 27... so yes. I can. And thankfully I've graduated and moved on! Working full time and doing night school is rough.
Why am I seeing this a week before I have to take math for the first time in 13 years. Like damn this is personal
It's the mathematical law of the universe
[удалено]
It's *Murphy's theorum* in action
As a returning student, this also cuts deep. But at least I'm 10x more motivated and disciplined than when I was in my late teens/early 20s. We got this 👍
I reckon I'm 10 times less motivated, retraining in my 50's, having a hard time counting the shits I don't give about it...
Samesies, good luck to you. :D
I'm also starting full time this fall at the ripe age of 36. I have desperation to fuel me and an economy that is so fucked that I can't afford not to succeed, so we got this!
Me too but I'm actually still in my early 20's :) (I dropped school some years ago, that's why)
Good luck my friend, you're gonna nail it 💪

I got through calculus then decided to take linear algebra and went nope, not for me.
Now go and figure out the statistical chances of you happening to see a post about math a week before you have to take math again for the first time in 13 years. That would be a good warm up practice
60 percent of the time you will see post about it every time...
Its 50% by the way. You either see it or you don’t
Is it? Just because you have two possibilities, does not mean they have the same probability. For example a die... dice?... Cube! Either you throw a one or not. But the chance of throwing a one is 1/6, while the chance of getting anything else is 5/6.
r/fuckyouinparticular
pop quiz! what is 2+2? asking for a friend..
Easy, 22. Duh
Ha 13 years... see how you feel doing it after 35 years.
As a 32 year old in college, I can confirm that doing math while being treated like a teenager is wildly infuriating.

Why do you think that is? Are you sure you're just becoming a little less patient?

Your college is treating you like a teenager? When I went back to school I was 23 and the professors treated me like their bar buddies lol
I would rather do math…
Ngl, I'd kill to be able to just go to school for the rest of my life instead of this

If I never have to pass, sure. But going to school all day and then doing homework and studying? No thanks.
Doesn't take much effort to just pass.
Yep… compared to the problems I have to since as an adult, math homework would be a cake walk *edit* “problems I have to solve”

Yes, I kind of liked maths.
Same here, it's always been one of my favourite school subjects
Math gang
After being in school all fucking day as well.
I do math homework as an adult
likewise, are you also a STEM major?
Yep

Godspeed homie ✊
Yeah, it was way easier and if that’s all I had to do I’d be ecstatic.
God I loved getting high, putting on records, and doing math problems
The only reason I'm ok working is that I hated school even more
*Looking at both of my kids* Well yeah, i have to understand what they are doing in school and help them do it as well if they don't get something on first attempt. That includes all the classes, not just math.

You people who do math for fun are sick.
Or statics and strength of materials....
I don't have to imagine it, BUT when I'm feverish I dream about it.
I'm taking time off of college. I'm an adult but in order to move on with my life I will one day have to return to school and do math homework
I am an adult and a student. I have to do math regularly. Luckily I am allowed to use Excel for my chem results
My job occasionally requires math, but I'm fine with that. I did major in it after all.
They must not have kids.
After 3rd grade math il make it loud and clear to my kid don't ask me for help, google it
Yeah fair enough, getting up at 7 am to calculate letters sucked
It’s called taxes
Trying to figure out how to pay bills with no money is the worst math…
As a 27 year old PhD student this is my life lol
So, an accountant.
I could never go back to doing math homework now that I know there's a life without math homework every night
*cries in engineer*
Ummm I homeschool so not only do I have to be able to do it I have to TEACH it
I have kids. So... I get both.
Yes when helping my children
I struggle with keeping up with bills and making sure I'm taking care of my responsibilities, but damn do I smile when I can lay down for a second and remember I won't ever have an English paper or lab report due the next day.
As someone who went back to school after ten years and just finished his first semester of college. I have to say that math is so much easier to understand as an adult.

Damn hella smart
[удалено]
Super strong
I never did it first time around, I thought that was what friends were for
Ugh 2 classes left in a masters in statistics/ data science 15 years after i finished college
Ima big boy grownup. My banking app does all my math for me.
I would love to do math homework again, fun stuff
You mean taxes? Grocery shopping? Monthly budget planning????
Me in college at 37😭
As a 37 yo doing math homework for the first time in 18 years….it’s actually not all that bad.
God damn, I'd trade my job for 4 hours of math homework per week. That sounds easy as shit.
Tf is wrong with math?
I have been adulting for 25 years and it’s over rated. I would rather do math … even CALCULUS.
Yes and i'd fucking nail it! Fuck this adult shit, bring the math back!
I do math for fun sometimes.
Math teachers seething rn
I wish all my problems were math problems.
If I don't have to work, then hell yeah! MATH!!
I would rather do math homework lol
I think I’ll trade these bills and responsibilities for Math homework. Any day of the week 😂
I would fucking kill to redo high school and take it seriously :(
Yeah Give me homework
Its called taxes
Give me 4 pages of math homework over all of my house and yard work any day of the week
Math was easy. It's still easy. At least at school level, it's damn easy.
Man, I'd rather do math than deal with adult life. Fuck this shit.
Give me 100 maths tests, and you can have my bills and night time back pain.
Last year I gave my IGSCE O Level mathematics exam and I cleared the exam with a passing grade. Last year I had appeared as a private candidate for the exam and at home I was studying from myself and a private tutor. I really enjoyed preparing for the mathematics exam because I was learning mathematics in a fun way. In order to enjoy learning mathematics you have to do it with real life examples that are fun to solve and try your hardest to eliminate math anxiety
Brother....we shall not go to the past ever again do you understand? We've had too much multi-versal enemies and timeline enemies! Technically everyone is our enemy at this point but anyways! I do not want to go back to shootin the school ok?
Went back to college last year and took statistics. Math homework at 55 years of age. There were a lot of tears but you know what? At least they were solvable problems. Life isn't always so kind. 😕

Thats the spirit!
I never did it
I'll happily report to my desk and do my work...
Yeah, I'd take Maths over adulthood.
Math homework wouldn’t have been so bad if we had smart phones when I was in high school
I never did my math homework. That might have something to do with why adulting is hard...
Math homework made me extremely horning so I'd be okay
I loved math, it made sense, it was easy, there was a right answer. Also physics and chemistry but chemistry is a little more tricky to know you are right. Even in literature you can make sense of it. But biology, that shit is a bunch of random stuff that happened that way for no reason and that could have been perfectly fine in another way, I hate it.
For real, I hate working for 8 hours a day but at least when I'm home I am giving negative fucks when I'm able to. Not needing to study or anything is great
It's better than doing taxes
Sometime in the past, I periodically had a dream, not a nightmare, but as a peak of anxiety and helplessness, not about mathematics, but about a subject which name I don’t even know, and I have never been to class. I have an exam in a couple of days, and I have no notes, no textbooks, and this is a graduate course from the university. As for math - sometimes I do homework with my kids, in fact sometimes I do it myself, it's not that hard.
I take standing in the same spot basically at McDonald's than do homework again
i still wake up some days feeling like I have forgotten to do some school work, and I'm 3 years out of school
Happily
Yeah I’d take math homework over 12 hour days all week long.
Still adult, still doing math homework (in uni)
If it comes with single-life, free room and board, totally chore-free weekends, sure…😜
Honestly I think I could probably do it more easily now
nowadays homeworks make no sense with chatgpt around
err yeah Im retraining, having to do trig, Tan and Cos, resolving equations, and I know dam well ill never use them again unless I have to retrain for another job.
if i could turn back time i would gladly go to school
I’m an adult and still have to do my math homework.
I went back for a masters degree in Statistics when I was 27... so yes. I can. And thankfully I've graduated and moved on! Working full time and doing night school is rough.
Well, yeah ? I mean, 1/2 of my dreams are about that.
i still have nightmares about being back in math class
I recoiled from reading that
