Math doesn't suck, you do.

No.
Friendship is magic. Friendship is not math. Conclusion: Math cannot be magic. Everypony knows that.
But there is a part of that rant I agree with. Math teachers usually suck badly and manage to push kids into hating math in early age. You can make anything look boring and ugly if you try hard enough. Math teachers mastered that art.
@Ace
That blog or whatever it is, is Maddox? It really sounds more like "Angry Teen Blog".

That show needs to fucking burn.
Every gets taught calculus and is like "this is all math is, it sucks". Lol.
That's like saying that Hemmingway is the only author, therefore reading sucks.

Way to make us all defensive at the get-go, metro. Bullshit article too if you don't mind me saying so. ;)
I acknowledge the possibilities of math, and I'm sure I could have use for it over the years.
I have tried to be better, I tried in folkeskole, I tried in realskole and even got some extra hours there, I tried in 9th and 10th grade as well with extra help there too. Help I even took extra classes at a school right after 10th to get better grades although that fell apart due to a bad class. Then I tried again 2-3 years and you know what I found out?
Math bores the shit out of me. I don't think it's interesting. Numbers don't makes me say "wow, this is really some interesting stuff, I want to learn more". I get that feeling with language and history, not numbers. Sure, I did some assignments because we had to, but most of it I had help with. My head just doesn't like numbers so it's even harder for me to get math, and what do you do when you're faced with something you're just not good at? You quit. If you like it despite not being good at it, I can imagine someone continuing. But bad and to boot not enjoying it?
I'll never be good at math, and I am fine with that. I am good at several other things.
