Mathematics education in schools


Quote by Redbelly98 View Post
True, and most teachers are aware of this. But one purpose of school is to prove to the world that you are capable of learning a variety of topics. People who must decide to accept or reject your application for whatever you try to do after graduating -- whether its a job or a college application -- look at how well you did in your classes to decide if you'll be able to learn whatever it is that they'll want you to learn -- even if it's not exactly the same as what your learning in your high school classes.

Sure, there are some jobs you might apply for that won't care much about your grades, but they won't be paying you as much as the jobs that do.
Actually, here some jobs for just-graduated people look for your grades, also the high school grades are heavily considered during the admission to the good universities of this country. This is really criticized here, because people get difficulties, especially in math.

The problem, at least here with math is the fact that the whole society, even the media talks about how difficult it is. Of course, if people see that everybody says that math is the hardest thing to do (which is not), they will find it stressful and fail.
