    Math is really cool but it's often made into a nonsense megabrain dick measuring stemlord contest to rank and filter students, plus very badly taught. It ends up just making people feel bad for themselves. I really wish more people eventually realised that it's cool after they left school, like they often do with history.

      Yeah, Arithmetic sucks. It even sucks for mathematicians. Math proper is actually pretty cool

      Yeah I was saying in the other reply that Indiana’s education system isn’t the best and I’m sure if I had a better teaching of it when I was younger I wouldn’t be so bad at it and just against it as a subject. I was always able to understand writing and history more than math and certain science classes.

        The thing with math is that the way it's taught, many people just give up and decide they just don't get it because of some innate reason, which is stupid. And then they dislike it because it makes them feel bad for themselves.
