Exponentiation. I don't think it was ever really explained before, instead it was treated like something I should've known.

One day I watched a YouTube video that made the world of difference, then I got it.

The number of math epiphanies I've had on youtube is way too high. Good math teachers are a rare breed.

For sure! The same can probably be said for science teachers too.

Sometimes a specific explanation works for you, but school has to be generic enough for explanation to work for most. There are probably a million videos with explanations that are utter shit.

There are, unfortunately, also millions of teachers who are utter shit. I appreciate every single one of the good ones I've met along the way.
