I won’t share my math SAT scores with you guys for fear of ridicule, but let me just say that math is not my “sport.” I do not begrudge people who suffer from numeric disabilities such as myself, because as far as I’m concerned it’s wayyy more important to know the difference between your and you’re than to be able to do stuff like build furniture or travel into space or bake. Or, god forbid, solve any actual math equations - especially when they’re written out as word problems. Even skimming this helpful “solving math word problems” tutorial makes me sleepy. I once cheated my way through geometry if that gives you any idea how limber I am with my knowledge of basic shapes. Basically, I am the math equivalent of a person who only knows how to say “hola” and count to 10 in Spanish.
BUT that being said, when I wasn’t cheating (without the help of my mother) in math, I was actually learning stuff. I don’t remember most of that stuff now, but if I had a kid or a nephew who asked for my help, I would definitely attempt to figure it out with that person before posting a picture of the homework assignment on Facebook to crowdsource. Actually, I don’t really think people should crowdsource anything on Facebook related to lying, cheating, stealing, or committing a violent act, but I guess we all create our own boundaries. Either way, why the hell does Lorrie give all the credit to Danielle when Brad’s the one who officially solved the problem?? Can’t she at least get that part right?!
