#honors physics

my teacher sucks BALLS and is the WORST at teaching. its a flipped classroom so he doesnt rlly have to do anything other than walk around and make sure we're all doing work, but flipped classrooms DONT WORK for subjects that aren't english based.

bc english classes, u can read the book at home, discuss and do worksheets/assignments in class, then read at home again. ur not sitting at home watching mind numbingly boring videos from covid, ur reading.

but with physics, we're expected to self teach the subjects. bc not only does he not explain adequately, his voice is so flat and boring that the videos SUCK to watch !!!!!

also i cant learn from videos. i still cant figure out most of geometry from last year and im now in algebra 2/trig (which has explained a little geometry bc ACT prep) but im still wildly unprepared for any geometry questions on the ACT that doesn't involve triangles. i learned nothing in math last year, and im learning nothing in physics this year.

i can barely grasp any of the topics we've covered bc we're moving too fast (and yet still behind the other honors physics classes who aren't a flipped classroom)

the only thing i kind of understand is energy and work bc at least those make algebraic sense

AND i was so good at chem last year, which is usually considered a much harder subject!!! i love chem! it made sense!!!! it was taught in a way i can ACTUALLY LEARN!!!!!

and its not just me thats struggling, its almost my entire class (minus one rlly smart girl who's awesome, but she cant tutor everyone)

i've grown a disdain towards a subject i wanted to enjoy. i should've just taken AP chem this year instead of honors physics. or environmental science. or AP Bio.

i hate yhat i hate a part of my favorite subject group. im so hopeful that archeology doesn't need physics !! if i have to do more physics it will be against my will and at gunpoint.

not looking forward to the final, bc if i dont do well i will have to retake this class over summer (i have like a D+ rn)

if anyone wants to try and help me understand rotational kinematics, kinematics, and any other junior year honors physics concepts, please DM me im dying here (ive never gotten below a B my entire school career)
