    I’ve definitely experienced that too sometimes a random video or post just clicks way better than a classroom explanation. But to be fair, many teachers have so much on their plate beyond just teaching. In Mexico, tools like MI Portal Fone are actually helping ease that load by giving teachers quick access to their pay stubs, CURP, RFC, and tax info without having to go through tons of paperwork or office visits. When systems like that handle the boring admin stuff, teachers can focus more on connecting with students and maybe even explain math like those viral internet folks.

    This post confuses me. Why would code be simpler than the math notation? Both involve symbolic abstraction of basically the same complexity

    i hate that we all got so frightened about math. it’s genuinely fun to learn how it works when you’re not being forced to in a school setting, which was just a fucking nightmare for no reason. i had this former navy DI lady teacher in gifted kid algebra [so already a year ahead] yell at me for asking questions; she wasn’t going to ‘hold my hand’ thru the homework, which was quite literally her fucking job

    The hard part of math isn’t understanding esoteric symbols it’s the theory behind it and it’s application. Number theory will mindbreak almost all people.
