      So you’re saying that my students pay attention to my lessons because they are important and relevant to them in their lives. And students of math classes don’t pay attention because they do not have that same importance to their students.

      And somehow I’m being downvoted to hell for pointing out that this means math class is extremely badly designed for its stated purpose, and the people who design and maintain it in the condition that it is in are complete fuckups.

        You don’t understand how many people do use these functions. Even yourself. You use them and don’t even think about it because it’s beyond your comprehension. Frequency of anything is trigonometry. Observing and utilizing the efficiency is a bi-product of applied mathematics. There are so many other examples.

        Math is the only language that goes through all other dialects. Think about how monumental that is. Every language in the world agrees that math makes sense. But you don’t.
