It’s sad how much of what is taught in school is useless to over 99% of the population.

There are literally math concepts taught in high school and middle school that are only used in extremely specialized fields or that are even so outdated they aren’t used anymore!

I took calculus my senior year of high school, and I really liked the way our teacher framed this on the first day of class.

He asked somebody to raise their hand and ask him when we would use calculus in our everyday life. So one student rose their hand and asked, “When are we going to use this in our everyday life?”

“NEVER!!” the teacher exclaimed. “You will never use calculus in your normal, everyday life. In fact, very few of you will use it in your professional careers either.” Then he paused. “So would you like to know why should care?”

Several us nodded.

He picked out one of the varsity football players in the class. “You practice football a lot during the week, right Tim?” asked the teacher.

“Yeah,” replied Tim. “Almost every day.”

“Do you and your teammates ever lift weights during practice?”

“Yeah. Tuesdays and Thursdays we spend a lot of practice in the weight room.”

“But why?” asked the teacher. “Is there ever going to be a play your coach tells you use during a game that requires you to bench press the other team?”

“No, of course not.”

“Then why lift weights?”

“Because it makes us stronger,” said Tim.

“Bingo!!” said the teacher. “It’s the same thing with calculus. You’re not here because you’re going to use calculus in your everyday life. You’re here because calculus is weightlifting for your brain.”

And I’ve never forgotten that.

Bingo. Math is all about problem-solving – using the tools at your disposal to solve problems. When you’re little, simple addition is a struggle. But much like adding weight when you get stronger, once you master addition we have to up the ante to keep you improving – if all you’re doing is repeatedly practicing something you’ve mastered, you’re no longer problem-solving. Your ability stagnates if your routine does. So math gets more and more complicated, but as long as you’re sticking with the recommended routine and not taking too many cheat days, it won’t actually get “harder”. And whether you actually remember or use everything in 20 years is irrelevant – all that matters is that you know how to solve problems that arise in your day-to-day life because that part of your brain was worked out so much in your formative years.

if ure 12yo and on tumblr.. best advice: deactivate ur account

antiromani-deactivated20180803

i see a lot of twelve year olds taking this kind of advice the wrong way so let me clear this up, lol.

this site is literally a cesspool of bad choices, advice, and views. everything from adults using and convincing minors of things because they don’t kow any better to believing that you can never recover from your trauma or mental illness and will go no where in life. it’s honestly one of the most toxic communities i’ve ever seen and i would NEVER recommend someone under fifteen to join.

a lot of people i’ve known who have been on this site since eleven, twelve, or thirteen have said they wish they have never come here because they’ve picked up so many ugly and toxic beliefs and behaviors.

and let’s not forget the fact that no one cares or takes internet safety seriously anymore? i know that schools, advertisements, and media in general has made it out to be a little ridiculous, like it has done with bullying, but it’s still very real and very risky. i see so many minors put so much info out there (including their faces) and tumblr is one of the worst places to do this. there’s so many predators out there looking for people to snatch. there’s so many pedophiles on here, you wouldn’t believe. it’s so scary.

so yeah, being on here is an extreme risk i wish so many minors didn’t make. it’s so easy to get manipulated. this site is not safe, and i don’t think it ever will be.
