Do Americans really have to remember buzzwords like PEMDAS or BODMAS or whatever the fuck to perform simple algebraic calculations?

Why do Americans think this is any way to learn? Its the same here in Canada. I like to say Canada is basically just a bloated 51st state because we absorb every American idea, no matter how shitty. That means are cities are designed to take people in cars to Walmart and Burger King and our Education Standards are basically the worst in the developed world. Like I was doing trig this year and the teacher kept saying CAST rule this, draw the Unit Circle that. I just memorized the fucking Unit Circle like this.

>Cos is X so positive in quadrants I and IV
>Sin is Y so positive in quadrants I and II
>Tan is obviously negative in quadrants II and IV
>all special angles are quantities of pi, pi/2 pi/3 pi/4 or pi/6 corresponding to increments of 180, 90, 60, 45, 30 degrees respectively.
>any arm of a npi/4 angle is 2/sqrt2
>the long arm of a npi/3 or npi/6 angle is sqrt3/2 and the short arm is 1/2

Like why the fuck would I want to memorize the Unit Circle instead of actually integrate it into my mind through basic understanding? Do they tell you to draw the Unit Circle in Europe?
