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.

    it’s not that I don’t like it, I just don’t like it as much as I used to.

    I wanted to be a math teacher once upon a time. then, one year the teacher I really looked up to held the entire class back for over two months because 3-5 students couldn’t grasp sin cos & tan. it should have taken us three weeks but instead took us almost three times as long.

    by the end of it, the students that still didn’t grasp it still didn’t grasp it and the students that did grasp it no longer grasped it.

    I was burnt out on it and honestly threw myself into tech just to get the fuck away from math.

    worked out in my favor. teachers get paid three to four times less than I do currently, so it was a win.

    I still couldn’t give a fuck about sin cos & tan.
