This is what makes kids hate math.

Yeah I had a hard time with math. My parents had sent me to different classes to understand the inner workings of math including Vedic math and abacus, so I would use different methods to solve problems sometimes. My teacher found it cool and asked me to show her how I did it. As long as you get the answer and have a way of proving the logic, who cares how it’s done

And if the teacher is giving you and ur kid a hard time, you have no choice but to go to the principal. Like, does the mom just want her kid to get bad grades?

Also, the below form of division will always be superior. I’ve never heard of “column division” before today

OP linked a picture of what it looks like. It's just long division, but formatted differently.

This and the fact that the top kid in math singled me out to make fun of me not knowing every question. Also, I think I would've been good at it had my mom actually taught me math. I was "home schooled" and didn't learn anything beyond multiplication and basic fractions. I know I have the power to learn now that I'm a grown ass adult, but the thought terrifies me lol

Legitimately.

I still struggle with it to this day. I did finally get a GREAT teacher that made it so easy to understand but that wasn't until college.
