This is silly.
Learning maths was fine for me, up to university level.
However I would not make the mistake that this would work for everyone, people do have different strengths. I would not have coped with e.g. Art or Music to that level, and there is no point in forcing maths on people who have those strengths. It's not one-size fits all. Aptitudes do vary and education should lean into that.
- Lastodon 4y agoIn my opinion good maths education is important for everyone, regardless of predilections. It's often a child's first introduction to objective logic.
- SideburnsOfDoom 4y agoUp to what level though? IMHO, the stated plan "to ensure all school pupils in England study some maths until the age of 18" is a pointless distraction that does not solve any real urgent problem. Which are many.
