Ive been paying for my degrees at every step of the way simply by working multiple jobs and making smart use of grant writing to get funding that doesn't need to be paid back.

If you're legit having issues with college funding pm me and I can send you some grant writing stuff; honestly there is a LOT of free money laying around that doesn't get used especially by undergrads that being in grant form does not incur debt.

Weird, that's how I do math in my head anyways but that's not how I was taught. It's the best way for me to do math in my head for sure. It's especially useful for multiplication of weird or large numbers without a calculator or pen and paper.

Would be kind of awkward to teach I guess.

I.e reading that poo poo was a lot harder to understand than what is actually going on

i'm undecided, teaching people to use mental shortcuts and to understand underlying concepts is well and good but "math sentences" is a loving abomination
