That how education works in the US, pretty much through high school, no?

Yeah. And I really think that's a lot of why so many adults have trouble with math -- it's almost always presented as if the point is just to get an answer or solve an equation, when really, that's the stuff that any computer can do; there's a lot of math that's really uniquely human, and lots of proofs and projects that can be phrased in a way that even second-graders can understand, but in general, what they get, except with some exceptional teachers, is just how to solve the problems that'll show up on exams.

Woo hoo the GSP went BIS!!!

Has that breed ever been Best-in-Show before?

Ah, thank you. Sometimes the acronyms are not my friends.

Aw, I knew one of them once. I had to comfort him during a thunder storm once -- dog was FREAKING OUT.

Anyone who didn't get a chance to see last night's Daily Show should try and catch the rebroadcast tonight. It is worth it. Tonight's no slouch either.

I'm not precisely a Gilmore Girls fan, although I watch it.

I really did like tonight's episode. That rocked.

Dudes, Keanu Reeves is 40? That's just fucked up.

I always liked algebra the best, because of the way the left side of the = always ended up the same as the right. I think that's why I liked my introduction to accounting classes, too.

Geometry, OTOH, sucked ass, as did trig. I hate graphs with a passion.
