I was home schooled by my mom growing up, so I never had Algebra and Pre calculus. Mom thought Algebra was pointless, and I never asked her about Pre calculus. I was mainly taught basic match. Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. I had trouble with the latter two in my head.

Ultimately, I agree with this.
