minus-squareSapphironZA@sh.itjust.worksBanned from communitylinkfedilinkarrow-up2·5 months agoMath is mostly taught as theory. It should be taught in practice. Teaching people how to calculate an inventory, or taxes in a spreadsheet, is much more useful than teaching them differentials and number theory. Its like teaching people carpentry but never having them make anything with it. You just quiz them on which tool and material they need to use.
