we're taking trig right now in my geometry class and i don't understand stuff. i've just taken to drawing snakes all over the papers.

[SetGaming]

I'm sorry for ya. ._.

I already took trig last year, in geometry.
They put me in Geometry before they put me through Algebra 2, I'm taking it this year with the juniors. I'm a senior.

I'm pretty sure the "New Math" (yes it was actually called that) system was scrapped like a few decades ago. Not sure why it's in the poll.

Found out once i joined Penn Foster that most of the crap they say is "Required" isnt. Algebra 2 and above are not required for a diploma.

Speaking of that, most schools don't even teach financial math unless you failed Algebra 1

When i say financial math i don't mean just decimals. I mean all the taxes, different phrases, etc. Pretty much everything math related that you NEED as an adult.
