EDIT: Actually, it's not only because he sucks at math. He has A's and B's in his other subjects, but those grades are fake. For example, most of his essays in English are As only because he pays more talented essay writers to copy some of their ideas. There are plenty of people in my school who have math disability, but they certainly don't have an attitude like the kid I'm talking about. EDIT2: Algebra I is 7th grade level in my school district. So... there's a kid who sits at my table, and he's a complete dumb ass. He likes to call the rest of us retards, but his stupidity really has no bounds. He's 2 grades behind in math, and still needs help doing his math homework. Today, he decided to do one of his Algebra I worksheets (he's a freshman), and the people at my table saw the true meaning of 'retard'. The worksheet had a total of 10 questions, and most of them requred 'FOILing'. For example, one of the questions was (5p+1)(6p+2). As he was doing that problem, we looked, and here is what we saw: (5p+1)(6p+2) 11p^2 +10p + 6p +2.... We knew he was stupid, but we didn't know that he doesn't even know how to multiply 6 and 5 together. As he continued, we saw one of the problems as: x^2 = (130+12) x^2 = 142 x = 12 He doesn't even know that 12^2 = 144, yet he calls us stupid all the time. Could he be one of the dumbest kids alive? Here are more blunders made by this kid (not all of them are from today): 11^2 = 122 15^2 = "idk" he graphed y = 3x + 2 as negative 7 x 8 = 72 And by the way, me and the people at the table aren't uber smart, if you were wondering.

You never know... He might have created his own method and is a mathematician.

You might think you're smart now, but when he ends up being a super genius with latent potential you will feel so jealous. Einstein was bad in school too.

It's not nice calling others stupid and that refers to both you and him. You shouldn't be making fun of how well he is in math no matter what he says. Maybe he just has trouble in that subject area? Just ignore what he says and don't stoop to his level.

Knowing math equations doesn't determine what your intellect level is. You guys should have helped him, not made fun of him. Ps - I don't know how to FOIL. I forgot now. So does that make me a retard?

he's 2 grades below u. give him a break. i'm learning 10th grade math, and i'm in 8th grade, yet i make mistakes like those all the time!

Just because he isn't good at math doesn't mean he is the dumbest kid in the world.

Algebra 1 is normal for freshman. So you mean that he's 2 grades in Math under you?

It always baffles me, but there are some people who just don't get math at all

Seriously, your gonna make fun of someone for having difficulty in math? I'm good at math, but I don't even see those mistakes as too big. Seriously, I make mistakes like that all the time, and I'm not doing bad in math at all.

I thought Alg 1 was normal for freshmen ._.

So does that make me a retard?" It's a pretty good determiner though. Since so much of math is just based off of logic. If you don't understand basic math like this, then you most likely lack a lot in common sense and just general intelligence.
