  • No I don’t. And when I think of those things they are considered negative. Despite my own thoughts never feeling normal or normative. Despite the fact that I never have a societal norm that keeps me going… I instead find my own norm and keep going… it’s weird I never seek to pull society down I try to move up…

    I don’t really agree with this post, but I’m trying to move forward so who knows…

    I was one of those students who asked how it would be used, the teachers didn’t do the whole real world application part, and I never needed to go past trig.

    I work with engineers and use math like any other human on the planet but really wish mathematics was taught differently to make it more interesting. You hear a PHD candidate talk about the hairy ball problem and the math is interesting. Math class never was.

    To translate: As a child learning math this equates to “ignore math, the explanations don’t explain anything real, they only explain more math.“

    “The only explanation is more abstraction with no real world application as far as math class is concerned. Frankly, there’s more application to your own life experience if you focus on language and the arts.”
