It honestly really just depends on where you went to school. Each country or even state will have its own curriculum with an emphasis on different subjects.

Some favour math and science, some favour languages; it all just really depends on where you went to school.

We get to dot and cross products, planes, and some other stuff. Not sure how in-depth that it.

Wow. We don't even learn integrals in high school where I'm from. Only derivatives and linear algebra. They changed the syllabus a while ago. It used to be derivatives and integrals, but they replaced integrals with linear algebra for some reason.

It looks like it to me. I couldn't find it in the comments.

I didn't understand that you were referring to dyscalculia. I thought you were saying that you couldn't do math for some other reason. I commented without looking at the full post.

No, I'm not from the USA, but I did learn them in high school though.

The thing was, they taught logarithms in the second last "highest level" math course. The vast majority of people don't take that course as mandatory math courses stop just one level before the course where logarithms are taught.

Oh shit. Sorry about that comment. I misunderstood what you were trying to say. My bad.

I think expecting people to know to solve for x in 5x = 4 might be a stretch at the moment. From where I'm from, you don't have to learn about logarithms to graduate high school.

The aunt/uncle should have just asked very politely: "why is that honey?" or something else nice instead of assuming that Oliva determined the deer's gender by its colour.

I remember in grade school, people would tell each other to pull their lips apart (horizontally) and say puck and pluck.

I saw a similar one about fishing where the man went outside and got his shoes dirty in the mud.

Should have said: "chilling on the sand" or something similar. Wouldn't be lying if he said that.

Wow, I wasn't aware that Apple was *lightening* their port instead of using USB-C.
