Low prestige, low wages, hard subject. Is this not obvious? Situation in
Europe and Asia gradually converging to US's as wage gap between private and
public sectors widen.
- non-entity 6y agoTo be quite honest, I probably wouldn't have graduated in time if it wasn't for math teacher who didn't care, and passed almost everyone. Looking back, it probably was my weakest subject, and probably would have been my lowest grades if I hadn't hated ELA classes too much to do the work. Unfortunately now, I find my math ability to be extremely weak, which becomes a problem as I take interest in things that require much higher level math than I'm used to.

- itsmefaz 6y agoIs this same across countries? I've always assumed that math education in U.S is better than the other countries in general?

The top end institutions in the USA are very, very good, but, for a rich country, its bottom end ones aren’t particularly good.
