PM me for specifics, but I am stuck on cross ratios and have no clue how to use them in any sort of problem.

I am a damn education major, going to teach high school math, I have no idea why I need this crap.

if you think you don't need it and/or that you can't understand it
then i certainly feel sorry for those you are going to teach math

Pretty sure I don't need to prove that cr(A,U,V,W) = cr(Y,U,X,W) of an inscribed hexagon in a circle in High School geometry. Thanks though.

What make you say that?
Any geometry course that would cover this type of material would typically require linear algebra as a pre-requisite, which very few high school students have.

Only a small percentage of high school students take anything past linear algebra and multi-variable calculus.
You'd be hard pressed to find a high school that offers this type of material, let alone one that requires every teacher to be proficient in the subject.
