| Topic | ...sigh, trying to teach this girl at work basic algebra so she can get her GED |
| Blue_School 07/30/20 9:07:11 AM #1: | This new girl(36) at my part time work was talking about her upcoming GED test and how she has always struggled with math. I, being a sucker, offer to help since shes really nice and seems really excited about passing and graduating. I look up a sample question and begin to work with her on, 36x-8y^2 if x=3 and y=(-6) ok not too bad I can explain this. Then I realize this chick was never taught unknown values. Ok well start with really basic stuff. x-3=6 ...it took her almost 45 minutes and several examples for her to begin to grasp how to solve for x and check the answer. I feel fucking bad because she was genuinely putting in effort to understand but she just couldn't and was even messing up single digit addition and subtraction. I think im in over my head :( --- Can't refute the substance of the post? Ad hominem! ... Copied to Clipboard! |
