the only potential gatekeeping ive noticed in mathematics is (some) teachers that arent really teaching but more just showing off what they know. its a waste of everyone's time. i say potential because im sure its not always the teachers' fault, its likely just me being dumb.
- Tainnor 2y agoThere are definitely some people that either don't understand that their explanations are completely confusing to beginners or that don't even care. Sadly, teaching isn't always valued in academia.
- godelski 2y agoUnfortunately lots of things are obvious or easy after you’ve learned them but seemingly impenetrable before then. Think about calculus. I failed my first time but now it’s easy. Though I think this makes me a better teacher because it’s harder to forget that it was hard at one point.
