Math is the only test I have left to get my GED and it's also the only one I actually need to study for. I am being reminded why I dropped out of school this shit is so draining. I instantly feel dead after like 30 minutes. My mom is also kinda difficult to work with. She means well but I keep explaining to her the way that my brain works differently and she is not conceptualizing it. And she walks in circles with her explanations of things without even asking me if I'm understanding something first. Like I was using the Pythagorean theorem and I got c^2=724 so I picked up my calculator to find the square root of 724 and she was like "that's not the answer" and I got really confused and then she spent 5 minutes saying all this random shit in order to tell me that I have to get the square root of 724 and I was literally already doing that when she told me to stop. So when stuff like that happens she just repeatedly tells me about how she needs to write down every single thing in separate columns but I keep repeatedly telling her doing that gets me off track and confused plus it takes up all the writing space. Like I feel like since I'm the one that needs to take the test I should feel welcome to accommodate my learning needs. She already graduated high school and college we're not doing this for her. Plus this whole time she has her own sheet of paper so if it's so important for her to write it down she absolutely can without forcing me to do something that ruins my work. Instead, she keeps confusing me and wasting my time by stopping me in the middle of my work and vaguely telling me I'm doing it wrong and instead of just checking my work and then going straight to the point she does this roundabout way of speaking every detail from the beginning and if I tell her I already know something she looks at me like I'm being rude. It's just objectively wasting my time to go over something if I already know it and if she checked my work for a second she'd see that I'm not doing anything wrong she's just misreading my thought process. It's all multiple-choice anyway so the way that I write doesn't matter since I'm still consistently getting the answers correct. It frustrates me so much that everyone gets so defensive about suggestions and constructive criticism. Obviously, if I feel like the teaching is not working for me I'm going to say what is and isn't working and why so that we can work out how to make it work. I just want to learn so I can get this bullshit over with since I'm literally never going to use like 80% of it.

Fuck math all my homies hate math
