To: Do the math

We are constantly being reminded that math is the reason for the low graduation rate.

Nobody in the history of mankind was less accomplished in math than myself...I hated everything about it, and failed to see any rational reason to study the likes of algebra and geometry...

I even hate this drastic tendency in liberal education...

To: IrishBrigade

Thank you, I hated English, it is so illogical. However, no rational person can not recognize the utility of language. I love mathematics, and I have a passion to teach it to people just like you. I use toys to teach mathematics, rubber bands to teach logarithms, balloons and power lines to teach quadratics. Kites to teach geometry and calculus. The real world is my playground, and my lesson plan. Mathematics is a just another tool to understand the world.
