LOL! If so, it’s only thanks to my hubby. I’ve always had a problem with anything other than basic math. Algebra and trig gave me fits. I took calc in college and if it hadn’t been for hubby, then my fiance, If have never gotten through it.
But I use math on a daily basis.
If young’uns were persuaded that being able to do math would truly makes their lives better in all kinds of ways, and it does, then even if their publik skrewl teachers suck, kids might find someone else to help them learn it.
Kids, here’s a real world example...
Say you bought your first house, hopefully not getting screwed because you don’t know math, but it’s a fixer upper with old wiring and a 60A electrical service. (There are still plenty of those in my neck of the woods).
You have some gift money from a parental unit to buy a spiffy new appliance that draws 1800W.
If you know math, and a little basic electrical knowledge, you can figure out whether or not you can plug that in safely where you want to plug it in without burning down your house.
