Valency Electrons - Balancing +

Got a small Chemistry lecture today. It was interesting. Couldn't help but think that most things we don't understand and therefore hate, come to be because we never understood the basics.

I never understood a valency or the reason for short forms or how the balancing worked in chemical formulas. I use to hate the practical stuff in chem mainly because I didn't understand the foundation of how it all works.

Pretty tragic.

I think it's the same case we Maths.

We desperately need good teachers in schools. Not just those who know their stuff but those who can figure out why other people would not understand that which is so simple to them.

Negative is when there is a need.
