chef’s kiss good stuff…you guys had to memorize the pepe table?!??? Why? The point of the pepe table is so that you wouldn’t have to memorize its contents!
A steadily growing portion of American education is about rote memorization instead of critical thinking because we tied testing to funding and true/false is easier to grade
Me personally? Nope, I just stole this meme from somewhere else (like how all good memes spread)
In high school I agree that learning it by heart is unnecessary. Studying chemistry in university though, I agree that the students there should know, at least roughly, where each element is. After all, a lot of reactivity and behavior depends on their period and which group they are in.
I have a PhD in chemistry. It was never expected that we memorize anything. You just take out a periodic table when you need one.
This is actually a top-quality shitpost
i get the ne= neon joke but I have no clue why the image is cut like that or why it’s funny
Maybe taking a look at the original scene will help.
It’s funny because when you’re reading it, it catches you off-guard, basically.
