I think (I'm a mathematician and I have lectured and taught in the University) the poster has valid points... but will be trashed in the comments (here and elsewhere).
- pbreit 16y agoThe poster may have valid points but the post is useless. Anyone can sit back and say a maker didn't do it right. I actually don't think his points are all that good.

- mbesto 16y agoCare to elaborate?
- RBerenguel 16y agoI agree with the points that "maths is not a tool", and that teaching (real life teaching) is hard as hell. Students questions can sometimes blow your mind, or make you invest huge amounts of time and mental resources to answer them correctly. Preparing a decent interesting syllabus (something I have not been required to do, but I've seen some colleague doing) is a hell of a lot of work, even if it's bound to be lousy.
