@kellerfuchs it's my firm belief that chemistry is one of the worst taught major subjects in school, with a scrambled mess of a curriculum that seems almost a holdover from the turn of last century when chemistry wasn't even fully organized as a discipline yet. Organic chemistry is especially badly taught, top-heavy with nomenclature that hardly anyone needs to know, even chemists (like, they've got computer programs that handle that shit now) and memorizing reactions that nobody uses any more
