What you're describing is the basic shift between what lower-ed science/math is like and what "real" (college) science/math is like. The problem is that everything they teach in highschool and below needs to have an escape hatch for "what if they have anti-ADHD* but no clue what's going on?" That's why you were able to solve for v without obtaining any knowledge about the universe, and why taking discrete math did what they claimed geometry would do. * It's kind of a stupid way to put it, but by anti-ADHD I mean sufficiently controlled behavior combined with the ability to focus on any rote task until it is completely learned (basically, whatever traits or life conditions you need to have the opposite of ADHD). No matter what, you're not allowed to fail that group. |

awkward way to put it (although i dunno how else to describe them), but i think everyone knows the students you are talking about. these people are the reason why highschool math/science is hell, and you can't get away from them by taken honors or AP courses.
