What specifically do you not like about it. And I don’t just mean “it’s too hard”, what specifically is hard?

I feel like most people would like mathematics, but the education system failed them, teaching in a way that’s not enjoyable.

    Classic elementary/high school scenario: “This kid is ahead of the curve… a little too far ahead if you ask me. I’d better accuse them of cheating, given that the rest of the class sucks ass at long division/algebra/calculus…”

      It was a tiny rural school and I was a kid from a major metropolitan area who was in honors classes before relocating to a school that had none.

      In her defense, like 99% of students at the school not doing homework and acing the tests would have been cheating.

        I was never made to “tutor” but my assigned groups for projects were conspicuously full of problem children I was expected to balance.
