Just keep doing examples until you get it. Not doing examples until you get it is just a waste of your time

same. I just can't focus enough to go more than 15 mins on that site. what are you studying for?


also sal's voice is so comforting af

buddy it takes time, no one comes out the womb with an intuitive math knowledge. keep at it, keep working and make sure you firmly understand concepts before you move on. best of luck!

Fuck khan academy, look up Frederic Shuller. Much more focused, much better explanations, excersise sets available. Khan academy is only useful if you didn't go through elementary school.

Kahn Academy isn't for everyone. Not for most actually. Try more traditional methods like books and classes.

Many students have this problem. The format isn't for everyone. Kahn does help many students, but for most it isn't the right format. It is shameful how much public teachers rely on it when it is obvious that most students do not learn that way. Shameful.

Plenty of people learn better with books than unscreen prompts. Trust me.

You have your experiences. I have years of teaching and tutoring experience with hundreds of students. Not everyone learns the same.

You're still in high school, right? I took Calculus through high school. Finishing up Calc 4 this semester. You're not a loser if you're still in high school.

Depends what kind of future you want. STEM, business and the like are obviously out of the question, but you can pursue other decent jobs like plumber or janitor. It's not as bad as it sounds, you do good by making more intelligent people's lives more comfortable.

>self paced, no schedule and time constrictions
>students don't take notes on their own
>no one controls what you concentrate on
>no feedback from the teacher (like, tho most important thing in teaching on so many levels)
how is this not a didactic disaster?
