I've always found math is taught in the most daft, bland, vapid, worthless ways imaginable and I've thought it had to do with those who do the teaching: The teachers and textbooks.
But reading this comment chain, am I correct to understand that this problem stems from the very essence of math itself? The people who live and breathe math just fucking hate sharing their passion with others?
What the hell.
