our school system is screwyShadowLurker wrote: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.
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- dahill1

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-schoolCybele wrote:As embarrassing as that is, I think there's asmalldifference 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.
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.Yosarian2 wrote:There are better ways to learn geography then rote learning.- dahill1

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