Is there any math YouTubers you can recommend to an adult trying to recover from unschooling?
Hi, I’m 19 years old. I was taken out of school in elementary (3rd grade) and I stopped being taught in the 5th grade. My mom got lazy. I had silently been left in charge of schooling myself.
Well, when you leave a child in charge of their education, they are not going to do something that stresses them out. I’m above average at history, and English, I’m kind of just okay at science I know a lot, but I know a lot of random facts. Not what I need to get my GED. I SUCK at math. I did not like teaching myself math, I need help. I’m trying to relearn.
Addition and subtraction can sometimes be hard for me if it’s an odd number. I have a lot of pressure on me to get my GED. But I am afraid to go to the classes, I have a really small ego. And I cry a lot when I’m reminded about what happened to me, because my sister was kept in school so I had to watch her life go on while I was sheltered. I believe I will take one class and then cry and not come back. So I’ve been trying to teach myself with khan academy at home and I am making progress.
However, they don’t go into everything. Like I’m trying to learn the times table as just a basic understanding, and there was like two videos on multiplication and the rest are just ways you can imagine it like arrays and such. then just a bunch of tests. I need more haha. Please recommend math teachers who post on videos!!
