    And now, I feel rage too. Be very afraid, unname teacher!

    I had a math teacher who yelled at me for solving equations with a different method. I didn’t understand his explanation so I asked my brother for help. He taught me a more advanced method taught in a higher grade, which was easier, but I was not supposed to know that method yet. The teacher told me to redo everything but when I asked for help he told me to ask my friends. So, I just copied everything from my friend and then submitted it.

    Fucking hell I feel validated rn, I had a similar experience at that age but it was in language/reading class. It’s so frustrating to know that you are correct but you lack the terminology/ability to properly convey why you are right.

      Learning vowels, aeiou and sometimes y. Ok

      Quizzed on vowels “a, e, i, o, u and sometimes y” “No psud, it’s just a, e, i, o, and u”

      if you had had the terminology to say it, they would probably just have gotten angry anyways over being exposed in class.

    I would understand “unsolvable” or something but 0 just hurts. Later you learn to specify “within natural numbers” and it’s totally reasonable to stay within the number range you have learned so far and it would be fine to tell the kid “you’re not wrong but let’s keep it simple”. Just don’t teach things they have to unlearn later.

    My brother was in a similar situation where he said the square root of -1 is i and the teacher was impressed and it was discussed as a positive thing at home

      Speaking of not teaching things kids have to unlearn later, I’ve often wondered why we don’t just start teaching math with the expectation that you solve for “x”.

      i.e. Instead of

      2 + 3 =

      Write

      2 + 3 = x

      This would prime the child to expect that math is about finding an unknown and you’ve already introduced the unknown that will be most prominent in their academic career. This will also reduce the steps necessary when teaching how to balance an equation as you no longer have the “well actually you were always solving for ‘x’ we just didn’t write it, so you didn’t know, also we’re never going to use ‘x’ for multiplication again.” stage.

      But I’m not a teacher, parent, or child psychologist and this is just my blathering hypothesis based on watching my peers struggle with math for years.

        The former has the advantage that you can just write the answer in the same line on the worksheet. But you could maybe introduce the latter early as an interim stage to avoid learning everything at once.

        2 + 3 = x
x =

        Might confuse first graders but work at a later stage. My only expertise is that I’m a former child so take this with a grain of salt

      • gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I’ve taken accustomed to writing

        2 + 3 = ___ or 2 + ___ = 5 and then later seamlessly transitioning to “2 + 3 = z, write down z:” or “2 + t = y, where y = 5. write down t:”

        because it just seems so natural to identify these letters with natural things, such as numbers of beer bottles or cookies. kids typically giggle over these things because they think i’m making it up to be funny for their entertainment.

    This happened to me in 6 grade and the teacher was like annoyed bruh when I confidently raised hand to give a more accurate answer. Maybe she thought I was showing off the way she reacted

      I actually kind of believe it, because kindergarten/elementary teachers are often from arts & humanities backgrounds, and it’s not at all rare to find one who never passed a high school STEM class.

        Can you fail all your STEM classes and graduate high school?

      Also had a similar experience. 2 of us in class knew negative numbers, teacher told us our answers are wrong and that the answer is “impossible”, plus “you’re not supposed to know that yet”.

      source
    • bluebadoo@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I literally had that experience in grade 2. The class was asked a negative numbers question, I answered the question correctly but the answer was “impossible”. I wasn’t reamed out but I was shut down hard so I wouldn’t confuse the other kids.

    So every four weeks or so, maths teacher would give us a test at upper primary level. This way pre-computer times. One of the questions was always “how long is this line” with a pen-drawn line underneath. Except, the pen he used always left a blot at the end of the line and sometimes there was a little flick from where he lifted his pen up.

    Simple I thought, the line is 10.2cm - 10-3cm! Easy! But, it was always marked wrong. EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. Correct answer: 10cm. It wasn’t like to be rounded to the nearest cm or anything, just “how long is this line”. The ink blot counted. It counted!

    I’m still bitter.

      Factual incorrect, since teacher didn’t state that the result has to be rounded. I only got barely through, because of the tasks often being open to interpretation.

    In fourth grade we would read short stories and answer multiple-choice questions about them. One such story was about romantically involved terrapins, and the question was “What would be a good title for this story?” The answers included

    a) A turtle love story.

    b) Two turtles in love

    I don’t remember which one I picked but the correct answer was the other one.

    Failed a high school required class because I have poor writing abilities.

    Literally got a 0 on a midterm because the teacher “couldn’t read my writing”

    Crap like the green text and my high school experience is why parents need to be involved in a child’s education.

    Either that or all this is fake and gay.

    The time I told the story about how I had mud pies for my 5th birthday and said they used Oreo crumbs to make it look more realistic …. I was stood in front of the entire kindergarten and made to say the word and what it meant.

    Idk why I don’t like attention 40 years later

    Flashbacks to shitty math teachers. It was either this or “WHY DON’T YOU KNOW THIS YET!?” I quit participating and made a C for the rest of my academic career including college. I also got “I don’t how you got this answer, but it’s the right answer.” . Hell I don’t even know how I got that right answer but I refused to ask questions.

    and people wonder why schools get shot up…

    • deur@feddit.nl ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      They get shot up because of easy access to guns, next question please!

      source
      • gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        they get shot up because of really poor mental health in large swaths of the population and non-existent gun control.

        source
      • piccolo@sh.itjust.works ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Guns were even more accessible years prior. So thats not the complete answer.
