American Mathematics Education, why is it so dogshit? Even the smartest kids that come out of this system are just soulless "just give me the directions" robot andys who will never in their life even think about reading Mathematics outside the classroom.
>>anon why would I ever read outside the classroom, I got plenty to read in uni!
Because if you think all of Math is inside a fucking classroom then you're a fucking smoothbrain moron.

The absolute worst part about Mathematics Education in the US is SPEEDRUNNING THE MATERIAL.

>I have no idea what I'm doing, but I just did 100 problems like this over the past 7 days and now I know how to do these problems without even thinking about them, I guess I know the material really well
>>walks out of a differential equations course without knowing what a differential equation actually is.
Seriously, I fucking hate all my colleagues because their "WELL THATS NOT WHAT THE BOOK SAYS" andys and would probably eat their own shit if their GSI said it would help them on the next quiz.
