ITT we make fun of Amercan education

OMG QUOTED WAY OUT OF CONTEXT

[dahill1]

Please provide "context" for why you thought "T" was an element

that's basically the only part that wasn't

[dahill1]

Ok then provide context for why you are nearing the end of an "Advanced Chemistry" course and still do not know basic polyatomic ions and that T is not an element.

our school system is screwy
this is the end of the first semester
as for T, that was just a stupid guess as i don't have the entire table memorized

That's still pretty disconcerting...

chem. isn't my best subject, if you couldn't tell.

As embarrassing as that is, I think there's a

small

difference between an obvious typo and no knowing your Periodic table while in Advanced Chem. It's like being in Pre-calc and not knowing your multiplication table.

actually that's waay different, IMO. i'm just learning full on chemistry this year as opposed to have been learning math since like pre-school

There are better ways to learn geography then rote learning.

yeah this is the only test that we've been given so far that is just rote memorization and it's only really to give our grades a small boost for some easy points.

I was about to defend teachers by saying mine all knew their stuff inside out...

Then I realised I went to a private school.

i'd venture to say that the private schools where i live don't really teach better/advanced curriculum. they just lower the grade necessary for an A so the school has overall better grades

[dahill1]

because we have a different lesson plan
as i said the other class learned at the beginning of the year
