Remember when Teachers used to say this...

[Dog Based Gremlin]

1996

Teacher: "Did you do your math homework?



Me: "Yes"



*teacher sees paper*

Teacher: Yeah but I dont see how you got the answers, young man"


Me: "I used a calculator"



Teacher: "Thats not good enough. You need to show me how you got the answers. You wont always have a calculator in your pocket in life"





2023

Spoiler

Me:

 

[WhatsGoodTy]

When I was in high school it was this app that would give you the answers and show the work. If it wasn’t for that I was not passing math

 

[Rhapscallion Démone]

I used to be facetious and show too much work. To the point where I had to circle the answers. Sometimes I would draw a dinosaur eating a cat in the corners of the page. Mrs. Hedgepath would get tickled by that

 

[Admiral Ackbar]

1994

Me: can I call my mom or grandma to bring my homework? I did it, but I forgot it at home

Teacher: no, you can't just call anyone whenever you're in a jam. You won't always have a phone to call for help when you want something.

Don’t say symbolab breh.

That shyt got me through Calculus 1 and 2

 

[AquaCityBoy]

The entire point of math is to show the work, not just write down the answer.

 

[Kasgoinjail]

And best believe they are still making children show their workings out

Had to use my phone after helping my son with his long division homework to check we got the answer right
Not about to make me look stupid out here

 

[Remote]

Right. The point of showing how you got the answer is to demonstrate that you learned how to think.

That you learned how to process the problem. Not just arrive at the answer by pressing buttons.

 

[IIVI]

Got that ChatGPT and A.I in "prestige" universities like Harvard now. Tech

Spoiler: It ain't like these cats HAVEN'T been cheating though and all students are there one merit.

All them ideals teachers tried to push on people, real world looks different.
Look who became U.S PRESIDENT in 2016

I really thought things would be different as an adult. Nope.

So yeah, I don't want to hear it.

 

[jadillac]

Stupid and caused alot of unnecessary trauma to kids.

Literally no time you will ever use your brain for math now

 

[F*ckthemkids]

And that's why there are hundreds if not thousands of videos online highlighting how stupid kids are now.

 

[LuuqMaan]

Curious mind is a beautiful thing, I was told

 

[Mowgli]

I remember when parents said that one day kids would be required to learn about that alphabet gang.
They called it Republican fear Mongering.

Fast forward my 10-year-old has to learn about trannies in his school book, in The civil Rights section, which does not include black people
