Meanwhile all these kids in calculus can't remember that shit.
THEN the kid takes the college math placement and they want to put them into trig.
best thing to do is just not listen.

It's true, but I'm still grading you down for the answer on areas.
I learned trig when I was about 12. My father would take me up to Fort Drum and take me out on the practice range where they would fire the howitzers. If I got the answer right, the broken down jeep out in the field would get blown up. Much better incentive than grades.
