They started teaching us algebra in grade 5. It took me until my first year university to really fully understand it. A lot of this was due to my own lack of efforts but also due to lousy teachers. The math teacher I had university was probably one of the best teachers i've ever had for any subject. I pretty much owe my ability to understand math to that teacher.
- rtkwe 8y agoIt's an unfortunate fact that teachers that really enjoy and understand their subjects is a rare treat and most people won't have the chance to encounter one in all subjects till college. I think there would be a lot of use for teachers to get additional training in whatever field they're teaching so they have a deeper understanding than just what they remember and what's taught by the book. I don't even really blame the teachers so much because they got into the work to teach generally not to teach a specific subject they may get stuck with.
