Maybe 35 years. I don’t really remember if chemistry was junior or senior year.
My daughter needed help balancing a chemical equation.
So there you have it kids. You may someday need all that stuff they teach you to help your own kids one day.
Still waiting to share “Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell”
ETA: Wow. What a typo… Can I get a passing mod to fix the title?
And then someday she can pass the knowledge on to her children when they take high school chem exams. And down through the generations…
It only took 350 years …
The basics of alchemy are always useful.
I kinda like the thread title just as it is. It helps make OP’s point!
If you’d become a chemist, it probably would have been useful as well.
If you’d never learned it, you’d likely never had had a chance to consider chemistry as a career.
Nah, leave the typo in the title. It underlines the fact that you haven’t needed the math you learned at all.
For me, the phrase that remains starkly clear in my memory is something I learned in driver’s ed: A rain is most dangerous when it has just begun. I couldn’t wait for my son to start his driving lessons so I could hit him with it. He was highly, highly impressed, in the way that only a teenage boy can be with his mother.
Maybe you should let someone else help her with the math problems.
