Sometimes i feel like yelling at them and saying, "but why can't you mark the effort" "math is about getting the answer the correct way not which method you use."
let me tell you something.
when i was in 8th grade, i was doing math in my head.
the math was like 6x-5=4+7x
and i did it in my head, and got it right.
my math teacher said i cant do that.
i now cant do it in my head, and i'm 21.
all because i couldn't do it in my head.
I used to be able to do that in grade 3 as the teacher would say the problem i would solve the problem get the correct answer everytime but now i am in grade 8 and i cant add nubers in the thousands correctly in my head
