that appointment could’ve gone better but. whatever. yeah

[seedingmymind]

I wouldn't normally ask this but would someone who is good at division be willing to help me understand a ridiculous division problem????? I've looked it up on the internet and I've used a calculator but no one, not even my book, will explain how you figure this one out on your own!

[crowrelli]

Oooooh my gooooddddddd

[eddis-not-eeddis]

HAH! Aced the math portion of my exam! Messed up once, because I mixed up how many feet were in a mile. (I put in the amount of square feet in an acre instead. -_- In my defense however, that was memory error and not actual math.) It was all fairly easy math, but as someone who literally sobbed her heart out over percentages in high-school and had to pay the entirety of her month's salary for a math tutor, I feel accomplished.

Ok so FUCK algebra teachers, they never ACTUALLY explained JACK SHIT about how algebra works, they’d just shout “X EQUALS X, X EQUALS X, WHAT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND” while never FUCKING explaining that X equals what it needs to be for the OTHER numbers to equal the END NUMBER!!!

For anyone else struggling with getting their GED because the algebra section is a bitch.

2x + 3 = 11, you multiply the x by the number it’s attached to, so it’s 2 x X + 3 = 11, and the ONLY thing x can be in this scenario is 4, because the only thing you can add to 3 to get 11 is 8, so it becomes 2 x 4 + 3 = 11

And don’t worry if it becomes 2x + y = 11, the y is there because you can’t have two of x, after all, if they only used x, some equations would devolve to X + X x X/X = 4, and that makes NO sense

So they need the other letters, x y z c m etc. are all placeholders for the number you are trying to determine.

Reblog if your algebra teachers were bitch ass motherfuckers who expected you to use psychic powers to know this without ever explaining shit to you

[transsexula]

who would be better at teaching someone who struggles with math than someone who struggled with math and figured it out

That's the best type of person for the job!!

Destiel except

Dean skated through highschool. Mostly because he had work and could barely make it to class. But he passed, he made up work, he took remedial classes, he knew the material, he just didn't have time.

Between trying to keep their bills paid, Sammy in clothes that he grew out of too quickly, and knowing his father would disappear and spend all his money on liquor, he just did his best. He tried dating, but they always ended shortly. Girls were good, they were soft and smelled good and they had fun, especially with Rhonda Hurley who was a little older than him and showed him many new things, but it always just that. Just fun.

Dean was stuck between his jobs, delivering pizzas at night, cleaning at a motel in the morning, and taking any shifts he could get during the day at the pizza shop. He was always tired, his shoes were thin, but it was okay. He was graduating, he could get more shifts, and Sam was in AP classes. It was all good.

Except he was just kinda... lonely. He spent all day talking to people, working, and going home feeling drained. He just felt empty in his bed, he wanted to be held, he wanted to be kissed, he wanted... something. He just didn't know what.

That was until Sam started going to a college class. Together they'd gathered up enough money to pay for it, since Sam was still a highschooler, it wasn't much but the credit would transfer. But Sam started going to this class with a homeschooled guy.

An older homeschooled guy getting his GED and going to community college. A guy Sam brought to Dean's work with a few other of his new friends to study and have some pizza.

An older homeschooled guy who'd just left his religious almost amish like cult family. An older homeschooled guy who was handsome and quiet and broad and had eyes that just twinkled when he spoke about advanced math.

An older homeschooled guy that Dean couldn't help but stare at. That Dean learned was getting into sci-fi books and movies, that liked to talk to Dean, that didn't understand personal space and wasn't afraid to cozy up to Dean on a park bench or their couch when Dean invited him over to watch Star Trek.

A homeschooled guy who liked when Dean called him Cas, who liked to hug. In bed. At night. Everynight. And didn't make Dean feel bad when that's all Dean wanted was to be held at night to sleep, just safe and warm in big strong arms. Who casually asked Dean if he could teach him how to kiss, how to act around people, how to love. Because it was so normal to be laying in bed shirtless together on a warm august night and ask

"We love each other anyway, you can just teach me how to act. Do you love me?"

"Oh um... Yeah Cas. Yeah, I do love you but maybe not the way you thi-"

"We could get married. I read in a law book that men can marry each other. So can women. Did you know?"

They waited till Sam was in college, till Cas was close to his own agronomist degree, working at a small farm on the outskirts of town, till Dean was a manager at the local bookstore. And Cas never stopped being an awkward mess. And Neither did Dean, who giggled his way through their vows in the courthouse office.

how they would be like in school ???

HOW THE GREASERS WOULD BE IN SCHOOL

DARRY

Would be very good student

Like that one popular jock that isn't annoying and is actually quite respectful

Mama raised him with manners

Would have good grades

Super sporty one of the best of his football team

Just loved school so much

Would help other people with their work

Graduate with a 3.9 GPA

SODAPOP

He dropped out but I'll give you before he did

He was a good student he payed attention but it just never clicked in for him

He has basic knowledge for the normal curricular thing

And amazing with cars and that's what he was good at

I can see him going back eventually to get his GED

But he would really try but he could just never get it

Can y'all tell I love this gif of him he's such a cutie omg

PONYBOY

Y'all he literally skipped the 8th grade he is so he is really really smart

He'd have good grades in all his classes but I can see him having MAJOR beef with math

But he's like the quiet smart kid that sits in the back of the class

And he sits with his loud ass friends while he works and they copy

He's in track also so he just overall is a good student

He would also help you or anyone with their homework if he had time too

"hey pony, I need help on this."

"Give me a second let me finish this."

Since he's in advanced classes he probably got like a 4.7 GPA

JOHNNY

Can be really smart he just need deeper explanation by the teacher

I saw someone say he got held back a year but idk if that's true

But if he did he would ALWAYS sit next to Ponyboy so he could explain it

He really is smart he just can't put it on paper

He would really love science lab experiments

You cannot tell me otherwise

Pony tells him what to do and he does it

When he graduated he is alive in my head so suck it he probably got a like a 3.2 GPA

DALLAS

He's that one kid that ALL the teachers envy because he never goes to school but he good grades

Like I feel like he'd be pretty smart he just doesn't care

"Omg Dallas, you got a 87% on your test!"

"Eye downt cayre mayn🙄"

Like if you didn't know how to do something he'd just randomly drop it

Like he'll look at your paper and just say what to do

"I just don't know what-"

"Combine the like terms"

"huh?"

"Just do it mayn!"

But don't get me wrong he is really fucking stupid, like really dumb

TWO-BIT

He's been held back like three times

So like lets be fr

I really don't have too much to say but he'd be the class clown that is actually funny

Everyone knows him and thinks he's funny

Was never a try hard

Would eventually graduate

No one knew how

Very low GPA

I don't know if he also dropped out

Because Ponyboys petty ass did not give him a personality

But hed be a pretty average student

Not great grades not bad ones just passing grades

Doesn't care about school just cars

I really don't think he'd care about a GPA or college

[devils-little-sistaaa]

Sometimes I see people saying Nico (and Bianca too) would do really really well in school just because they’re ambitious and smart (and that is true). But I just can’t help to think that’s just not realistic for them to do very well in school even if they do their very absolute best they can do no matter how well they want to do in school their still going to struggle because of adhd and dyslexia and growing up in an age where those things were not even discovered yet and they were called lazy and accused of not wanting to do the school work and not wanting to learn for most of their childhoods.

We see this exact problem with Percy in the very first book in the Lightning theif. We see how Percy wants to do better in school and seriously tries his hardest to get good grades and stay out of fights because he wants to make his mom proud of him wants to find a school that he can fit into and attend more than one year. He genuinely tries to do well. But then we see him struggling to just barely keep up we see him studying late into the night because he’s slower than most kids his age at doing homework we see him throwing his text books across his dorm room because he was so frustrated with dyslexia and sleep deprivation. He still ends up getting into situations with other students like Nancy Bobofit and Sloan in the sea of monsters and teachers like Mrs. Dodds and other monsters and bullies.

And we see so many other demigods struggle with something similar to this. Odds are Nico and Bianca wouldn’t do all that well in school even if they really do try their hardest even if they graduate even if they get straight As across their report cards (which I think is not likely but you know what I mean) they’re still going to struggle a lot with adhd dyslexia depression anxiety burn out because they have to work 10 times as hard just to keep up with the class average same as Percy and all the others (hell god knows I struggled so much in school that I couldn’t even graduate and I only have adhd and no dyslexia. I’ve been trying to finish the math portion of my ged for 3 fucking years like damn)

Can you rank the jobs in order of the level of education an MC would have on an average.

Also what about amnesiac MC?

You just mean official schooling required to have the job, right? Because you (usually, not quite so much with a good chunk of the original first responders dead) need years of experience as a patrol cop to be a detective, but that's not exactly what people usually think of "education".

This is what the jobs require, but you could head canon someone working on their master's degree while working at the restaurant, if you want.

On the way to a Master’s Degree: Wildlife Biologist

Bachelors Required: News Reporter

Bachelors Recommended: Detective, Computer Programmer

Bachelors Helpful, but Associate/Trade School Degrees Sufficient: Paramedic, Lab Technician

High School Diploma: Security Guard

No Schooling Necessary: Fastfood Server

Amnesia MC was a teen when they showed up, so they still had plenty of time to scoot into a high school or get a GED if you want them to have a more professional occupation. They have no personal memories, but still remember the fruits of all their math & history lessons etc (even if they don't remember the lessons themselves).

Somehow, the Carmen Sandiego brainrot has taken hold even though I haven't watched an episode in months (no idea how that happened). So, how's about some headcanons? (feel free to play with any or all if they strike your fancy)

-- Carmen's room in headquarters has two wall clocks, one set to San Diego time and one to Ontario because

-- Player has a veritable army of cousins. Carmen never got a straight number because just when she thinks she's got them down, he'll offhandedly mention someone having a baby or something; quite honestly, he can't keep track either.

-- Carmen is nearly hopeless with numbers. Time zones, exchange rates, converting to imperial units when she's in the U.S., she never got the hang of any of it and has learned to just consult Player.

-- "Okay, that guy at the front desk said I'm ten miles from the Grand Canyon. How many-" "Sixteen, Red. Keep an eye out, it's easy to miss." "Very funny."

-- It drove the Faculty absolutely nuts that their 'golden opportunity' is math-stupid; they chalked it up to something she got from her mother's side.

-- It's not. Dexter Wolfe was just *that* good at hiding his dyscalculia.

-- The one math-y thing she can do is card counting, a key component of being an incorrigible cheat at board/card games. Because she will cheat at anything and everything.

-- Seriously, one time Zach and Ivy found an old Candyland game (just lying around the warehouse, don't ask) and Carmen, who had never seen the game in her life, positively trounced them.

-- They just *know* she has to be cheating but can't prove it.

-- Ivy, bewildered, to Carmen's cat-that-got-the-canary face: "How does someone cheat at Candyland?!?" She's just that good.

-- Whenever Shadowsan plays her in cards, it takes all of two minutes for the game to devolve from 'whatever they were supposed to be playing' to 'who's better at sleight of hand.' Not that he condones cheating, mind, but if Carmen's going to, well, he's not just going to let her get away with that.

-- Carmen as a kid was a very picky eater (her adventurous spirit not extending to the culinary world); the Faculty was as helpful as you'd expect.

-- "Dammit, Saira, I told you to quit trying to feed her that rice!" "Well I need someone to taste test-" (absolutely no sense of taste on Saira; lab accident, we don't talk about it) "-and you certainly haven't volunteered. Besides, this newest formula is fortified with three essential vitamins and minerals (at least, I think they're essential), which is more than those sweets you keep plying her with." "At least she eats those!"

-- Ivy and Zach are high school dropouts, figuring they could get ahead better with racing than with academics. As part of joining ACME they get their GED's (since they require *at least* a high school diploma) and the whole team (plus Chase and Julia) help out and are so proud when they pass.

-- The first thing Carmen always does in the morning, something that doesn't change post-series, is call Player. It's also the last thing she does before turning in at night. She can't imagine being any other way, and neither can he. (crud, they're just the bestest friends, I love them so much)

Summary

Nancy helps Eddie work on his GED, though he doesn't really know why she's putting up with him. Good thing she gets something else out of it.

Excerpt

“Don’t say you warned me,” she threatens, pointing at him. If he didn’t know her stages of anger by now he’d be shitting his pants, but this... this is just a blameless thing, something she just needs to get out. He gets it, he has at least three hobbies committed to using as much of his energy as possible just so he doesn’t crack like an exploding star. “I’m not giving up. I just need. You just need—”

He bought the good drink mix for her—name brand Kool-Aid—and it makes him feel a smidge better about being way worse at math than she could’ve ever guessed. He pours her a glass and hands it to her, then goes for his own, wishing desperately he could put vodka in it.

He’s not allowed to drink until his liver like, grows back or whatever. The trailer is officially dry—Wayne will only drink with the neighbors, now—and he can’t do any of this work while high. He’s so, so sober.

Nancy drinks half of hers before she sighs, and Eddie watches her lick the juice off of her lip because he’s only a human being.

How do u think Ford would react in the same situation as Stan was at 17 - No home, no highschool diploma, and no brother because of something he did? Reverse au Stans have been rotting my brain I fear

Okay Hi, sorry this took forever to answer I was trying to rotate this in my mind and passed out instead.

My first question would be what would get Ford kicked out in the first place? He was Filbrick’s favorite and considered the golden/gifted child. Theres a couple of answers you could choose from and personally I’m unsure which would feel “most correct”.

You could also take the reversal AU farther in terms of making it where Stanley was the favorite of Filbricks rather than just changing that one incident. I could easily see it where Stanley is technically the older twin, gets Filbrick as his middle name, and then he’s actively favored due to his Masculinity and Strength. Maybe he’s still a liar like his Ma, but he has a good rapporteur with his Coach and is generally considered to be extremely Athletic.

So the answer to why Ford was kicked out you could create is that Ford was given an opportunity for WCT and he somehow blew it. Could be his math was off and it broke on it’s own, or something similar. You could also have Stanley be the one to accidentally break it again but that feels slightly off to me due to Stanly probably being more independent in this AU.

Anyways, it ends up Ford being kicked out because he blew that opportunity. And being the family disappointment over and over again, it became the last straw for Filbrick.

And boom, he’s kicked out.

Now onto the question at hand. I think unlike stanley, Ford would still actively pursue his education. Maybe either attending highschool while homeless until he graduated. Which can add some interesting conflict if he still has to see his brother there.

OR he gets his GED to fast track his Degree.

You could have him still go to Backsupmore, but he’s taken multiple loans and he’s forced to work through college to try and pay for it.

Maybe he ends up not getting a PHD since he wouldn’t have the proper amount of time to fast-track it. And perhaps he chooses a degree that can make money quicker rather than perusing his actual interests.

I think he’d still be a scientist of some flavor, he’d just be going into a field thats more easily applicable in capitalism rather then one purely for the fun of research.

I think Ford in this AU would be very tired and overworked. Not just cause he’s an over-achiever, but because he’s forced even more into the reality of the world around him. Forced to go hungry, probably the only times he would eat when he got kicked out would be At School, forced to work regular jobs, etc.

Cause Ford in Cannon is very much in a bubble of success. He’s never had a real job, he’s always been able to peruse his passions, and he was always believed by their parents.

So here, the bubble would be popped. He’s overworked, underpaid, and misunderstood by everyone. And his extra finger doesn’t help.

In terms of his relationship to Stanley. I think it would depend on how you would want to characterize him. Maybe as Filbrick’s favorite, he ends up adopting more Filbrick’s opinions. So even though he is deeply conflicted about the entire thing, he chooses to ignore it and try and focus on his boxing because thats what Pa would want… right?

He hurts and he misses his brother, but he can’t loose his favor with their parents. He just, he cant.

But maybe once Stan is out of the house, he looks for Ford. Wondering if hes okay. Trying to see if everything turned out okay?

Then maybe he find him in Gravity Falls, where Ford is doing some field study on trees or whatever cause a Paper Company wants to see if those trees are more efficient or whatever. And they finally see eachother again… and ford is PISSED.

i dont like the idea of cell phone bans in schools for a few reasons but i think mostly its a dumb short term fix for a problem that cannot be fixed short term. like highschool doesnt actually teach anyone job skills its not like most kids are learning trades and the only reason having a diploma or ged makes you more likely to get hired is bc of an unspoken convention of not hiring people without them like if you work at petsmart as a cashier theyre not going to ask you what you got on your algebra final theyre gonna tell you to use the calculator and to never do the math in your head bc why would they take you at your word when they can just keep a calculator in each register.. so like i get banning them if its for absolutely no other reason than to incrementally increase the rate of students who graduate on the expectation that those students will not go to college and instead work out of highschool, because the diploma does help their chances of getting hired. but bc highschool teaches no job skills i really feel like its only real (rather than nominal) utility is in preparing someone who wants to go to college. and in that respect it would be useless to ban cellphones because if you can't shore up the discipline needed to pay attention to your highschool classes with a phone in your pocket then you're sure as hell not going to pay attention in college or even attend lol like if these kids are only not on their phones bc you literally took them then theyre not attaining any discipline or work ethic at all what exactly are you preparing them for? the moment you give them the phone back will just reaffirm their relationship to it and all youre doing is creating an antagonistic association with not having it.. wouldnt a better solution be to simply make it easier for people without diplomas or geds to get hired? wouldnt right to work be the answer? its like expecting your kid to robustly sober bc you sheltered them from every image of alcohol and drugs. the moment they turn 18 theyre going to get fucking zooted
