Some people are retarded, and have a brain structure that can't process the concept of math at all
Some people are retarded and have a brain structure that can easily understand mathematical concepts
Some people have shitty genetics, and suck at math, some are the opposite, it all depends on what structures of the brain give the ability to understand math, and how developed they are, kinda like how some people have bad eyesight due to genetics

You can even get a brain injury, and become good/bad at math

and this is why we cannot have good math teaching. standards keep being debased till the most retarded can follow and entertain the illusion of understanding. and at that point the rest just see no point in a subject that has become a parody, and the retarded become resentful because they in fact see just fog.

Most people are bad at math, and they are bad math because of their genetics. This is and always will be true.

Since most Americans suck at math, then that would imply most teachers in America are shitty? Why is this the case? Why can’t teachers be seen in the same light as engineers/doctors?

No. People just don't want to learn it because 99.9% of math is literally useless for everyday life

Lawyers, doctors, businessmen, veterinarians, security, secretary, directors, and so on literally have no use for learning it. Instead, complex math is used only for highly specific jobs that may or may not be worth the effort of learning a skill that you cannot use else where

No, talent^2 * hard work.
If it was just addition than theoretically you could do 0 work and still succeed which is obviously not true. But if it's the product rather than the some then even with a great amount of talent you still need to put in some amount of work (usually still quite a bit of work), which of course is true.

Because they need to suck off big daddy government's test there whole life since they cant be fucking mature. They also pick favorites which is shitty if you're not a favorite. Then the good ones get their balls in a vice since they are required to teach shit to government specs so it's just a constant rotation of the highest denominator being pushed into the lowest denominator while that lowest denominator is shit on

look at this anon
>>11904622
he cannot see the point. couldn't understand that there is no 'complex math' or 'simple math', though of course there are levels of abstraction. cannot even grasp what it is all about.

yet, we insist on forcing anon to swallow it. we dilute the contents and lower the levels of everybody else so that he can cope. he can't and becomes obviously bitter and resentful.

this anon should be doing something else. something more meaningful for him and productive society. he would be much more happy. and we could all move on and learn, say, calculus before even fucking high school. however, here we are. you could go to school for more than a decade and not knowing even thales's theorem or how to solve a third degree algebraic equation.

great. common retarded core.

Is it really that hard to accept that math is not needed for survival? Not even political leaders can do math but they lead nations

>what is trade of skills and resources
Those mathematicians were funded by politicians and businessmen
Supplied with resources by miners, geologists, factory workers, laborers, truck drivers, etc
Production were managed by secretaries and supervisors
Secured by the security guard who take commands from the department of security
And of course, fed by farmers.

I'm bad at math and I know exactly why. In elementary school we had this book for learning numbers. Every spread was dedicated to a number and you basically had to write that number a couple hundred times on that spread in different sizes, then in the middle was an animal and the number would complete it, like you'd draw hundreds of 1s to complete a hedgehog or whatever. I hated the repetitive nature of this and refused to do more than half a page.
The second issue came when learning the small multiplication table. I somehow lost interest at around the 7, and just never bothered to learn it afterwards. So I started missing the fundamentals as far back as elementary school and never really recovered from that.

most people are bad at math because they dont have the basics or didnt give a fuck, I knew a guy at high school who was objectively dumb as a sack of dicks, I managed to convince him that Schwarzenegger really was pregnant in that movie once, but he excelled at math. When we got drunk once I asked him dude how the fuck are you this good at math and he said its easy if you remember the previous stuff he's a CS PhD now.

It was second year of high school and I took that to heart and I too, became good at math. Shits no rocket science

Yup
Born 91 in good old germanistan.
Book was called 'Igelheft'. I guess you can tell how much I hated it because I still remember the name 23 years later.

The workbook we used seems to be very similar stylistically, judging from the samples provided by google. Probably some nonsense cooked up at some European didactics conference.
