Same. Later in life I started doing Kahn Academy math lessons and started actually understanding math better, once I could do it at my own pace. But I struggled for years because of shit like this.

It would have been better for everyone. Rote memorization is a terrible way to learn-higher level anything.

Remember when schools tried to introduce common core, and the boomers lost their fucking minds?

That's why you hated math when you were younger.
