Picture this. It’s 9:30 on a Wednesday night and you just cracked the cover of your Algebra textbook to start homework. It’s been a long day already between school, practice, chores, and extracurriculars. Only inverse functions stand between you and the TV show you're dying to watch! You're blasting through the first problem set feeling focused and confident. You got this! Just like that, somewhere around problem 13...you don’t.
You flip back and forth between the problem and section of the book that you think covers the concept. You dig into the notes from class. Some of it makes sense, and you might be getting it, but the answer doesn’t look quite right. You scroll through your phone looking for someone in your class who might be available to help. You ask a family member, but it’s been years since they’ve touched Algebra!
You move on to the next problem to try and shake your brain up a little bit, which quickly turns into “Wait, what is that? Have we even learned that yet? I don’t remember learning that!” 20 minutes later, you’re still staring at problem 13 and that dream of precious downtime is fading fast. It’s time to ask for help elsewhere.
