I Hate Math! (Not After This, You Won't) : Krulwich Wonders… : NPR

Just for the record....

I do not 'hate' math. I feel very math impaired. I would like to 'like math'. I would like to be 'good at math' and, (according to my ex-husband whose dad was a mathematician) I AM good at math.

I guess I was just intimidated and, very much like the students referred to in this article, who are suffering through the bullshit that passes for education in this country, I was bored and could not see the point. Quite frankly, not too many of my fellow classmates could either - unless of course they were math whizzes.

I hope for the current generation and for the generations to come that subjects like math and science begin to become more interesting and that hopefully they will find a passionate teacher that creates a joyous atmosphere of learning without crushing their innate curiosity.
