http://www.isukatmath.com has math resources to get you from pain to gain! In this video, Doc points out that its cool, even funny to say "I Suck At Math" in our culture, or at least, acceptable. No one would say "I'm illiterate" as readily as they do "I'm No Good At Math". This is a sign that we're letting ourselves get away with math suckage!

  • I can't do math, and it is NOT OKAY with me. But I can't do anything involing numbers, directions, graphs, charts, etc. IT IS NOT OKAY, but I can't help it. I'm a musician and I can't read music. I want to be a journalist and I can't draw a dummy page. My teacher did it for me, so I could pass. It's terribly embarrassing. I dropped out of school three times, because I failed remedial math, even while spending hours in the lab with tutors. I couldn't pass the tests.

    You math people...

  • the lessons are more exhausting than enlightening.

  • Actually today people are basically admitting to being illiterate with pride. I would consider most of the people I went to college with to be functionally illiterate in that they could not even read works from the late phase of early modern english with sufficient comprehension and they would gladly admitt to not even being able to read something like the "communist manifesto".

  • @AmaindeJH If you cant read music then you are not a musician.

  • when am i gonna need triangles in life at all i just need to use basic math shapes wont help pay the bills

  • Im getting f*cked in math currently, I did REALLY well last year in algebra 1, so well that I did this fast track course and did geometry really quickly so I could be in algebra 2 this year to take more challenging courses junior and senior year. Biggest fucking mistake, and my teacher sucks ass I hate her... first year teacher who has a horrid indian accent.

  • Khan ecademy got me into math!

  • @RespectMyHate That's a great concept, but when you learn to read you take a lot of time actually learning the rules, the sounds, and practicing them. In math, you just move on to a completely new concept the next day. Maybe if they taught it at a reasonable rate, the highest grade in my Alg II class might be higher then a c.
