And weren't you bored to death the whole time? To the point of losing interest in whatever the subject was? The "A" was coming whether you furiously scribled notes or took a power nap.

I had an interesting thought in a class for Residential Contractors at the local community college. The instructor was going over methods to assure a square corner. Bingo Geometry. 345 rule. Pythagorean Theorem (sp?).

Wham. 95% of the people in the class were now lost. Math? Huh? Applying math to a "real" existing problem. Can't do.

And I thought, wouldn't it have been nice if the schools were teaching how to actually apply and use all the gobbledegook they were putting on the blackboard. Or worse projecting onto the wall.
