Mana Academy OOC III (Fantasy, Open)

[Chrome Legion]

It's turning into a less lazy day now that Pearson's fantastic MyITLab is driving me closer and closer to rage induced psychosis by telling me everything I do is wrong when it's exactly right but a slightly different way of doing it.

That was Math Lab for me, freshman year.

*Stares to the sky dramatically.*

*Teardrop.*

And people wonder why students have less and less confidence in their classes, ESPECIALLY IN MATH.

Same company, same silly pedantic requirements to do things exactly like they want, even if it's not as efficient. Bleh, got an 76% because 3 questions wanted me to do things in a way that I couldn't figure out. I knew how to do what they wanted, but I couldn't figure out what exactly they wanted me to do.

"You put that decimal mark in the wrong place. Obviously that means you have no idea how to do the problem, even as you got just that part wrong. We're going to count it all against you."

Yep. Once again. People wonder why most children (myself included) have a crippling fear/hatred of math.

Probably because 90% of mathematics they teach in schools have no practical use later in life. It's not that I am going to solve for the curve of the incision that I am going to make on my patient right?

MATH
NO
GET THIS THING AWAY FROM ME, NOW. JUST TAKE IT FROM THIS SACRED THREAD.

That and the methodology that students are taught is becoming narrower and narrower, or just overly-complicated and counter-productive, especially in Algebra. Sure, there are rules to Algebra, but if you're able to solve the problems neatly that should be enough. NOPE.

BLAME THE BABYLONIANS FOR ALGEBRA. BURN THEM! BURN THEM!

Math is good to know, but the very procedural view of math in academics doesn't really help anything.

[Chrome Legion]

150 billion tonnes of wet white bullshit. Good lord that was one hell of a work out.

I think I could have done better with that post, but reassurance and feels aren't my specialty.

Seemed fine to me.

If Katelyn ever isn't either immediately distracted or cheered up by the idea of a meal, you know that something is seriously wrong.

Not going to lie, it probably a good thing that Kate has Annice as a friend, she's just as likely to distrust Rabbit as her.

Yeah, Katelyn's probably only got three people on her side. Hailey(who's mainly on her side because she's her girlfriend, but also trusts Rabbit so we've got a bit of a double-agent thing going on here), Annice, and Professor Ruta(maybe).

Poor Katelyn. Just trying to save everyone's lives, and suddenly she's Magic Female Hitler.

Sorry to leave you there Charli, take them to food. I'm going to go tuck in early, don't feel well.

Curse you uterus! I'm not even going to use you!

Oh, no... I hope you feel better soon. Ugh, I know that feeling. Why is it even the ones with incompatible sexual orientations or simply no desire to have children get saddled with the same exact thing? Life sucks that way.

Hey Charli. Where's Natalie at? If he needs to wake up all those people for a suicidal mission, he needs to do with the cheese eating, hug giving, transporter of joy and childish threats, Natalie and her charisma.
