I’m getting a bit tired of Math jokes. So much repetition makes it sound cool to be math illiterate when actually it is sad. Math is a necessary basic skill in today’s society and the lack of it is just as much a handicap as the loss of an arm or leg.Math is not hard when it is taught well but all the constant barrage of “I can’t/don’t do Math” poisons students before they even get started into a self-fulfilling prophesy.
