>I would bet that basically every teacher you could find started out being hopeful about the idea of really reaching their students and giving them an education and helping them come to learn beyond filling boxes.
So? I didn't say anything to the contrary. All public school teachers think they are heroes.
>Unfortunately, the number of students who actually give enough of a shit for that effort to be rewarded is vanishingly rare until you get to the graduate level. By then, things become challenging enough that you really have to want to understand it to put up with the difficulty.
You and your ideas and opinions are a product of the public school system, through and through. Literally straight out of The Matrix:
>The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.
Math is politics.
