Feels pretty terrible man. The instructor spends every class writing calculus proofs (instead of teaching the material in an accessible manner that is appropriate for the level of the course) and assigns questions from AP physics textbooks even though I never studied at an AP level. I wanted so badly to study science and I sacrifice what little I had going for me to pursue my dream and all my teacher has to say to me is

My advice would be to look for online classes.
When in irl physics class, just write down shit without thinking too hard about it.
And when you get home, study online.
Also, don't hesitate to print shit, reading paper>>>>> reading on a screen.
Reading paper doesn't make your eyes turn red, you can read it before going to sleep, and you can take it anywhere with you.

Never count on teachers for anything. Ever. Do not count expect them to do their job. Treat them like the enemy. Would an enemy help you prosper? They are not your friend.

>>9752052 That maybe true in some instances, but the general concepts of education most teachers teach are not hard to comprehend if one has a genetically high IQ and is capable of discerning fiction from reality(which again is dependent on the given individual's IQ). The teacher's own incompetence is irrelevant so long as said teacher gives you the basic information on the subject you're studying, and as I've previously stated, if you have a high enough IQ to comprehend the teacher's delivery of said information.

Real question is, would you still kiss her feet and lick her cunnie eventhough several dozen of men have ejaculated inside her?

Is the backstory of Ai Uehara a detractor of her sweet innocent angelic image of a sex godess?

>>9752046
Well, some are. Most probably this one is too.

Not all, though. I know many teachers who want their students to succeed, and even if we know some of them are "less capable" than others it doesn't make them incapable.

Most of the times IQ ISN'T the answer. It CAN be. It can also be lifestyle. Your habits may share similar neural mappings with your studies. If you play strategy games, you may do well on subjects that require strategy, such as math.

Not that it will MAKE you do well, but a shared faculty makes it easier than it is for those people who never use that faculty for anything.

Thing is, like anon above said, pursue the logical way to get what you want. Your teacher isn't a good source of knowledge. He probably is there just to show just how smart he is, and maybe teach something. He's flipped it.

>> No.9753149

Sounds like OP is implying the teacher is intentionally obscuring the course material. High school physics doesn't require calculus and if his teacher is doing proofs using calculus all day in class, he's wasting time that should be spent covering the course content.

Your own fault for not researching your teacher before class began. Doing that is like committing to dating someone for half a year and taking them on dates at least twice a week without so much as talking to them beforehand.

Hey OP, I don't know much about you, and I can't say that I'm in the same situation, but I just wanted to say that we all have bad moments, but we gotta keep trying. If this is your dream, if you want it that bad, then for the sake of your soul keep at it, don't give up.

To avoid making this post just some advice, here are some stuff that you may find useful:

brilliant.org - Kinda like Khan Academy, but I prefer the way they present the material over Khan's;

https://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm - MIT website with a lot of their courses in video, for free. There may be something useful here for you (I don't know what "AP level" is, sorry). You can find their classes on calculus and physics in Youtube as well;

Udemy, EDX, Coursera also have a lot of MOOCs and courses to learn the subjects related to science.

I hope you find this stuff useful OP. Just don't give up on your dreams.

meh, you want to get to the point where instructors are meaningless and are literally there to fill a purely administrative role. Once you get a decent enough foundation in mathematics and science, learning new material becomes fairly mechanical - not necessarily easier as the topics get more advanced and less clear-cut but doable. It takes patience to be in school and slog through the arbitrary paperwork fuckery of labs and assignments.

How fucking stupid are the kids on this board that they think you need a high iq to do well in highschool physics.

Op even if you have a low iq, its a fucking highschool course, work harder, work longer, work independently and work smarter. If the teacher is rewlly thr issue than retake the class with another teacher. The really smart kids i knew did well even with the most dogshit teachers. Instead of whining online fuxking do something about your situation

Never give up no matter how hard today's challenges may seem and no matter who blocks your way forward. Use as many paths as you can find and need to reach your goals. There are many twists and curves in the road ahead. Life is not a straight boring line. The first time you do anything can be difficult. Trying strengthens you and makes you better in many ways. Do not lose heart. Ignore all the naysayers. IQ is of little value. Persistence, patience, and studious effort are more important. I admire your effort to learn. Good luck to you.
