So my mom asked me if I wanted a part time job, I'm like sure. Next thing I know I'm signed up for something called kumon and I'm taking several math tests in a row. I get to go there every saturday morning now instead of sleeping in. Apparently I'm really stupid even though I have an A in math. I finished a multiplication/divison/subtraction/division test in 23mins and I was suppsed to finish it in 10. Its not my fault I don't remember that crap clearly. We use calculators in school now. In conclusion, KUMON IS THE DEVIL

Anybody have any ideas of how to get out of this?
If there's one thing I've learned, it's that life is one crushing defeat after another until you just wish Flanders was dead.

Rock stars ... is there anything they don't know?

Well, supposedly, they're "training me" and in a few months I'll get paid to do something. But in addition to that I have to continue taking these "assesments" so I can get a good job and have a fruitful life.

Because without this, that just isn't possible.

That is bullcrap, man. Math has no place in the job world.

I say you just stop going.

I was also good at math, completely forgot everything.. why? because I never use it and I never will! it only teaches you logic, maybe some aspects are important like calculating chances or when you enter the physics realm, but for everything else... it's theory without use in most things in society

try to find out what you'll earn doing this, maybe it ain't so bad ;)
