Currently getting through this damn algebra class. Three more classes and I’ll get my associates degree!

I am retaking an algebra class again. I have three more math classes I have to take and it’s required for me to graduate. What’s the point of this damn algebra, unless you’re going to be a scientist or an algebra teacher.
I’m majoring in Elementary Education/Special Education. I came too far and I’m not giving up. I’ve been told, “Why do you wanna be a teacher?!” Or “Pick another job” or “Meh”.
Other peoples opinions are not gonna stop me. I currently work at a school for students on the autism spectrum (on summer vacation now). Its relatable because I’m on the spectrum myself. It’s a lot of work but I love it. I’m also learning and studying to be a teacher. Anyways my plan is to get a bachelors degree afterwards. Let’s do this!
Gotta go study. Peace! ✌🏾

Being a teacher matters. High five. And I think one of the reasons that algebra is taught is because it demands accuracy and studying to get there. Opinions don't count. So I think it teaches people how to think. The problem is that not everyone thinks in those terms. I got great grades in everything but algebra and geometry. Just didn't resonate. No matter how hard I tried. I think people get penalized for things they're not super in control of.
Make sure you take Math 150 (statistics) if you're planning to transfer credits to a four-year college if you don't your math credits will not be enough to transfer and you will have to retake math again

@Souls you can avoid that with university calculus as well. Some JC's offer it as well as university physics. Sometimes they combine the two types into one class where the university version being much harder
@Souls I have to take 142, 256 and 257.

If you understand algebra you will have a better understanding of computers. In particularly about matrices (algebra math) and arrays (computers)!

Computers are in everything now days. Even farm equipment.
@DeWayfarer Really? Cool
