Algebra (n.): from the Arabic Al-Gibbera meaning "the Gibberish";

the word has become corrupted to algebra and most students never know, though they may suspect, that they really are studying Gibberish.

A school subject taught by oft-dull teachers who use boring textbooks, and dreaded by millions of kids and their loved ones, which would otherwise have provided students a good training ground in learning how to face the unknowns, especially if they refused to trade their time for money later in life.
Algebra is too important to be left in the hands of school teachers and publishers—students need to take charge of their algebraic life unless they don’t mind becoming lifelong employees slaving for others.

Someusless BS a MRP ( Mentaly retarded person )made back a long time ago we can asume he had no life, no freinds and was a gay SOB. Most times u try to find x and y and end up going from some thing like x=9/3*6+6^78+-6+6x^2+7y^45 and get something like 2. Obvisly this is just something teachers use if they them selfs r MR ( mentaly retarded )
But school's acct as if its importent to hide the fact that theres just a bunch of retards.
