I hope I spelled that right.

Anyway, I'm just wondering how much y'all that are in highschool do proofing in Geometry. I have like....half my book (okay, 38 sections...but it's still alot!) just with proofing...and I'm wondering if they are just trying to kill me....or if this is part of the "higher education" of America.

Yeah, my curriculum loads up on the proofs... Probably 3/4 the books is proofs. It's ridiculous.

They are trying to kill you. After completing geometry, i came to the conclusion that.. geometry kills brain cells.

Proofs, and understanding how to correctly construct a proof, will come in very, very handy if you try to understand higher level math (at the college level, for instance). I never really learned how to do proofs well in geometry, and I really wished I had.

Proofs start out weird and awkward, but you'll gain a familiarity with them, since they tend to follow similar structures

I worked as a math tutor/teacher for a year btw, and I'm a statistics graduate student, so if you ever need any help with a geometry problem or proof just send me a message and I'll do my best to point you in the right direction
