For me, my "education" with math was "when you see this: 5/73¥π7^t then you use 5-8(25&6)_9gh8/6 not 5&6(9!4_89) ok memorize it for the test.

Oh you want to know why or what it does or what it even is? No that's college work. You're in highschool, memorize it because reasons.

Yeah... That's not how my brain works no matter how badly I wish I did. I need to UNDERSTAND not memorize! I can't memorize seemingly arbitrary bullshit that has no explained meaning. My brain instantly tosses it as irrelevant information.
