Everything just stopped making sense to me at that point at all, but even before then, it was never my favorite subject. I can't really explain it, but I just lack patience and love for it.<br /><br />Still, I'd never tell a kid math is useless. That's horrible to say.E.B.

I ...I never loved math but I was pretty good at it. I went through all the calculus and differential equations and linear algebra courses in college, and minored in math. I feel that it's a mistake for our school system to force math on everyone. It should be sufficient to teach people up to a certain basic level, and then only those people who need math for their future careers should have to continue on with it, in my opinion. Those whose minds don't work well with numbers would be better off spending time on courses that would prepare them for what they are going to be doing.Ted Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09022309459554237650noreply@blogger.com
