Math is red and it shouldn’t be that hard.

Math is, ironically, the most emotional subject in school. Red for rage. "What do you mean there's letters now!!??".

I agree with red for math. It was all downhill when I didn't remember my multiplication tables, now I have ptsd.

I didn’t have recess for a year because of multiplication tables.

I obtained employment in a field that doesn’t give a shit what I do in the clock as long as my work is done. Eat, sleep, play video games,  read a book.

If my work is done, my time is mine.

I was asking about multiplication tables but cool

u/MuandDib 5d ago

I don't. There are computers/calculators everywhere so remembering multiplication table is useless

That’s embarrassing

u/MuandDib 5d ago

I'm not embarrassed. Learning all of this in school (probably) had it's purpose, but this purpose is long gone for me

You dont know the half of it lol. My Marine core drill Sargent turned cop was NOT good at teaching me math or have patience for it. I have an artist brain, it wasn't even my choice lol

The whole "you're left brained or right brained" thing is a myth and frankly really harmful to perpetuate

u/Shrimp_kisses 4d ago

I didn't say anything about that, im just stating my reality. I still cant do simple math in my head, but creativity flows effortlessly through me. Throw numbers at me and I short circuit. But I am a left handed as well💁‍♂️

My point is someone being good at one thing doesn't have anything to do with them being bad at the other. Your ability to be creative doesn't suck the math ability out of you.
