I downloaded every major category of math from Khan Academy, from Pre-Algebra to Calculus.

It's in the opposite order because that's just how YouTube premium works.

You can also download playlists. I download everything I think I'll want to watch again. Never know when something's gonna disappear.

Interesting, I've never tried to download an entire playlist, I only download the odd video here and there. It's fun when someone uploads footage from a concert and I see myself in the crowd 😁

Code: 
 yt-dlp --playlist-start 1 url_here

1 starts at #1 on the playlist. Adjust number as necessary.
 
You can use uBlockOrigin for other browsers, I think Brave and Helium also disable ads by default. AdBlockPlus works too, but not quite as well.
 
The only ads I ever see on youtube are presented by the person doing the video, and are integrated into the presentation. I honestly don't mind those so much. It would be better to not have ads at all, but if you do, that's the way to do it.
 
I wanted to bring up something, kids are supposed to do homework before bed, not immediately after coming home.

I've heard parents say things like "No video games before your homework" or "No playing sports before your homework"

For those who think this way, let me ask you something, WHAT IS THE POINT OF THE KID COMING HOME IF YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO IT IMMEDIATELY!?

Why not just have the kid STAY IN SCHOOL and do their homework there?

The reason homework was invented in the first place is so they can review what they've learned before bed because that helps you remember things.

Is Homework Good for Kids? Here's What the Research Says

The debate is heating up again

Homework did fuck all for me. I'd be surprised if I learned anything from assigned homework. It's just an odious task that needs to be completed. Like cleaning the dog's diarrhea from the carpet.

It's all stupid rules to make petty tyrants feel like they have control over another life form. I almost failed government cause the teacher graded heavily on completed homework. Knowledge? Test scores? Fuck all that. I need to see you complete janitorial tasks. I got a B in history. Aced everything, but I didn't take notes in class. Teacher says I have to take notes. Fucker... He'd think he was being clever by waking me up in class to ask a question, to the delight of all the other kids just dying to see a failure. Everyone, including me was disappointed when I correctly answered it and went back to sleep. I got my sleep ruined, and nobody got the funny payoff.

See, I read history for fun. I learned cause I wanted to learn, and that's how learning really works. You can't legislate knowledge, and meaningless repetition is meaningless. It's just task completion that does little to help understanding.

I've given it zero thought, and pulled it out of my ass just now, but if I were a teacher, I might have the kids make their own homework plan. Incorporate the bullshit into something they're actually interested in. No grades. Just do it. It's more "work" on everyone's part, but they might actually enjoy it and learn something.
 
Heh... Almost failed gym too. I wouldn't get dressed and participate unless they were doing something I liked. Archery, fencing, floor hockey? Fuck yea! Aerobics? Meh, but Ms Puckett was pretty, so it was worth it. Basketball? Maybe if you catch me in the right mood. Run my ass around a track like a race dog? Nah, you all have fun with that :^D
 
I always did my homework right away to get it over with, then I have what little time left to myself before bed. Always hated homework, work all day at school, get home exhausted, but yet still have even more work to do. Felt endless. 3rd year of college was brutal for that, there was little to no time to myself. Would usually be up past midnight doing homework then up for 7am to catch the bus back to college on most days. Some days my first class was later, but that last year schedule was pretty full. There was even one class that I just skipped 99% of the time, the marks for that class were 100% based on our technical report project, so it made more sense for me to skip that class so I can actually work on the technical report, instead of going to that class and just wasting my time doing BS stuff that doesn't count for anything.
