What an idiot. You YELL the explanation, that's the secret; this works especially well for those who don't speak the same language.

Now this is vintage. I miss memes like this and rage comics.

I get this with people who don't understand "say it slower and more clearly." Then they say it with the same volume and still mumble.

I had a computer science professor who taught mathematical induction with one example proof. I didn't get it, so I went to office hours, and she painstakingly went through the same example proof. I didn't get it.
Then I went to the library on found Donald Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming. I think it was the very first chapter that did the trick.

βWhatβ sometimes means you didnβt hear and sometimes means you didnβt understand, but you make me guess and yell at me if I guess wrong.
You did not hear? Let Me say something completely different

Do you ever reread the same sentence in a book? Does it ever help?

I remember when I was learning negative numbers the first time our mat teacher was giving us problems like -2 + 6 or whatever for practice. Nobody else was answering so I did a few and after I got them right he was like "How'd you figure it out" and I told him the smaller number cancelled out part of the bigger number. He was like no that's wrong and was a dick about it. To this day I don't remember what the real explanation was because I was pissed but it really put me off that dude when he did that after I had just demonstrated that I understood how to do the problems multiple times.
Never had good luck with math teachers in grade school.
"Look, I don't get it myself, and I've got 50 other kids with rivers of lead flowing through their veins that I have to deal with. You're just going to have to take the L on this one."
Wouldn't happen to me. I'd simply understand better.
But louder this time!
