Little bit different to what HIM previously did in a solicitors but HIM's really looking forward to it.

Admin to the people who knock on your door? Interesting I thought it was a smaller scale job than that.

It's conveyancing under a different name as it's new build properties which are either nearly built or off paper plans.

Door-to-door? AVON LADIES!

RAK,
I love teaching myself so much‼ I want to learn all the languages. I want to know random history. I want to master complex math. And how cool would it be if I could code? The only thing I can think of right now that I'm not into… is science. The only science I have interest in is psychology. It's kinda… astrology for realists.

I can probably help you with the complex math if you'd ever like. Just as long as you don't ask about common core, I don't understand that s*.

Mathematical science is one of the most incredible things I've ever discovered. It allows you to mathematically see the 4th dimension.

I don't think ANYONE understands common core.

Still not sure how it got legalized...

I think a basic math problem was said to have something like 169 steps.

Common core is really cool! I can't remember how it works right now, but if I saw it again, I'd be like, "OH! Yeah. That's easy." If I did some practice problems, I'd do it faster.

I'm good with math on my own. Learning it and doing it for a grade bores me. Once I know how to do it, it's fun.

But the issue with common core, is that I can process the information 50 times faster than someone with common core.
I can't fathom how common core could possibly exist in higher math.

It's another poorly designed method to stunt genius minds with lower tier math. (Much like no child left behind)

Looked it up. Now I remember my thoughts. Admittedly, it is really weird, but if I were just learning how to add and subtract, I could make it work.

Well sure... but most kids used their fingers to do basic math.

I wouldn't say I'm pushing for the traditional way or for common core. It's not an issue I have an opinion on. I'm just like… back in the day, if they'd given me common core, I could've figured it out.

Naw, you're not.

There's a new way they're teaching elementary kids to do math called "common core." Everyone who sees it is like WHAT THE IS THAT . It is really overwhelming at first. If you take a deep breath, slow down, and try to figure out how it works, it's not so bad.

I could see it being time-consuming, but maybe if you get used to it…

It's supposed to be a different way to do math, but to me, it's incredibly complicated.

So how does common core prepare you for calculus?

I will be saying that to my children when they get old enough to go to school...
They will say, "Mama, can you help me with my homework?"
And I will go, "Nope. I'm glad I'm not in school".

My parents halped me with my homework all the time before middle school. It's super easy stuff until then.

I don't have to worry about helping any hypothetical kids of mine with school work, since that's all they're going to be: hypothetical.

You don't want any babies, onsenmark? :D
I want my own baby someday... soon.
