      That’s an issue with your teacher putting the focus on the wrong part. Sorry you had to experience that. My math skills (which were mediocre at best at the time i left school) skyrocketed the moment i got a teacher that made sure we understood the calculus part and didn’t even want us to insert real numbers.

        I hate that I never had a good math teacher and that the ones I had made me hate maths.

        I would love to like maths, but there’s too much trauma there.

        I’ve taught myself what I’ve needed for work, but it has never been a pleasant experience.

        Bad math teachers are a plague on humanity.
