So I was tutoring a friend who is in college algebra and we were working threw synthetic division of polynomials, and I realized I have never used that technique after pre-calc. I think its easier and there is less chance of sign mistakes using good old long division for polynomials why are we wasting valuable classroom time teaching this technique when it is just a "short cut" (not really) for something that is equally easy and works better?
