  You think you've had the weirdest teacher or the funniest well if you like to think, randomly that is, love to laugh, well then your in the right class.  While taking this class you learn about real world problems, an environment that allows you to work individually or with a partner at your own pace.  So we're going to show all you new comers the "Tricks and the Trades" of this class.

To survive PreCalculus you will need to know 5 major assets:

1.  Be on time to class.
2.  Laugh at Mr. Young's jokes even if you don't think they are funny.
3.  Keep up with assignments and don't get far behind Mr. Young because it
will be hard to catch up.
4.  Don't sleep.
