 What area of mathematics do you work in? I teach made fresh daily. I just teach high school mathematics. My background is Geophysics, and I got a minor in mathematics, and I've been teaching math for like 20 years Or if you do not actively work in one, which are you most interested in? You know what? I'm most interested in teaching math. I I I went a little into it And I like the geophysics aspect. I like the hands-on aspects of the mathematics. I was doing right Hands geophysics and my work as a geophysicist, but once I start teaching mathematics, man I won't go back to there's There's really nothing else that I Fancy to do Right very cool edging in next generation is a great pursuit. I love it, man I can honestly tell you when you Change improve people's lives Kids lives that the centralized system has written off There's nothing like it the power you feel that You just gave another human being the opportunity To live is amazing I've been thinking about getting a math tutor because my algebra teacher Don't really teach do you recommend getting an older tutor or a high high school tutor who is one of my Brothers friends. Captain Hawk. It's you might have to try different people, right? Age is irrelevant Their degree is irrelevant. How long they've been doing it is irrelevant, right? you You'll know when you start working with the right person because the mathematics. It'll just click with you, right? You can try your brother's friend Okay, maybe your brother's friend really wants to be a teacher and They're very passionate about it and you'll be the first students. So they'll give you 120% right But if it doesn't work with the person Look for someone else. Okay. Look for someone else As a mathematician with a bit of experience in tutoring I think if you know of Someone near your age who understands the subject well Then they will always be more effective in communicating with you than an older tutor as you get older This matters less, but I think it makes a significant difference until later high school early university Oh, so you're talking Early education elementary school education and stuff like this It depends where you are it really depends where you are if you're getting someone to help you they as Made fresh fresh daily mentions. They have to know the material well ideally The best type of tutor to get if you're going around your age group is someone who's at least one Grade or two grades above you because and they're good at math because that way they'll know How how what you're studying now relates to what they're doing So they might be able to plant seeds for the following years. They'll be able to connect the dots Right. So that's really important as well. I Agree with Chisho about that though It really does ultimately only matter if you click with their understanding or not in my experience That seems to happen more frequently with working with working With someone closer to your age experience level. Yeah for me. I can honestly tell you like I'm a like I'll I'm not gonna be humble. I'm a phenomenal Math teacher tutor, right like phenomenal, but even my success rate is not a hundred percent Unlike 95% of people that I work with They look at mathematics by the time we're done in a completely different light in a more positive light, right? But I don't mesh with everyone 5% right or 10% So find the right person and never be be afraid to move from one teacher one tutor to another tutor, right? Chisho you really do have pretty good insight into math education. I'm good at it, man And you know why I'm good at it cuz I got angry, right? This is let me tell you why I'm good at it I'm good at it because when I started it just started tutoring just this is a hobby Like I did a little bit in the 90s, right? Just as a hobby and then I got really busy and then I start up again in early 2000s, right? They literally 2000 something like that, right and when I started tutoring I would have Students kids asked me questions, and I was like I Didn't know the answer. I just knew how to do it, but I didn't know why we did it, right? And then I started learning the why's I went home and I went online I started reading books and I try to figure out why certain things were the way they were in mathematics That's when I really began to learn math Understand math and that really got me pissed, right? Because I went through high school and I took chemistry 12 physics 12 math 12 was in high school and I Took all the sciences except biology, right? I went to university honors co-op Geophysics program with a minor in mathematics and I only realized that I Didn't really understand mathematics until I started teaching mathematics And when I started finding out the reasons why we did certain things math blew me away, right? Then I got pissed because the education system had not taught me this How is it possible that I was not taught this, right? and Long story short 20 years later. I'm still doing this Making videos creating content and I plan on doing this until the end of my days because People need to be littered in the language of mathematics really And it's for very selfish reasons. I think one of the reasons that we're having so many problems in our societies Is because people are literate in the language of mathematics and they're letting centralized power and authority fool them into Signing their own death warrants, right? Insanity. Insanity, right? That's my little rant. I can't say I've ever had a great math teacher in my educational history Most of mine have been pretty bad. Fascar The only math teacher that I could say was a great teacher was not because she taught mathematics Well, it was because she was an amazing human being and I had her in grade 9 And she was like a you know, 4 foot none that just amazing human being, right? And she was just a great teacher. I've never had a Fantastic math teacher ever All right very unfortunate But no math teacher I've had has ever made me want to learn math more math Only Chichohadas. Nice. Thanks for the compliment Fascar. I Can see why Fascar he seems to look at it in a very few math teachers or Professors do and communicate that knowledge. Well, thank you for the compliments Made fresh daily. Thank you for the compliments newt newt newt Three stooges for sure both math teachers have had very clearly don't enjoy teaching it No, and Fascar I don't blame them There's a reason why I'm not teaching in a centralized educational system, right? Because I wouldn't last a week in there I'd be teaching stuff and centralized power would come tell me hey, you can't teach that and I tell them to go F off and get fired I've just cut cut that crap out and just gone directly to teaching All right, schools don't teach you what math is. No, they don't Schools are teaching people monkey see monkey do right that being said it's very very very very very Important to make sure you have at least minimum your high school diploma, right? And if you really want to have freedom, then you need to pursue Something right maybe apprenticeship maybe educating yourself may be people creating business. You need to you need to learn As soon as you come out of high school Consider the next two years of your life Education because you should you should be spending the next two years of your life when you come out of high school educating yourself Aside from you know a month or two months of party because you just got out of jail Schools don't teach up. I understand numbers better than letters, but I'm my Techniques are unorthodox but effective cool As long as they work Sleepy wave, how is it that? Due to centralized education. How is that due to centralized education because When you when you centralized power that central power becomes corrupt one of the reasons it becomes corrupt because the way you centralized power is basically Directing a lot of funds from communities to the central Location so anyone that wants a piece of that pie goes to a central location And it's easier to corrupt one person five people then it is a thousand Right, it's just mathematics really Restrictive curriculum. Yeah among other things among other things like just you know, there's an I wish I had it handy. There's an article that Richard Feynman wrote and it wasn't an article was part of a book He wrote because Richard Feynman. He was a American physicist one of the best best world renown physicists and From the United States. He's world-renowned right and he went on the school board Or the board of education where there were approving textbooks for all of California and he wrote about his experiment Experienced there, right? totally corrupt to the core to fix the education system and minister Think of the common core system many states here in the US. Yeah Math is taught unit by unit and if a student falls behind in a certain unit, they're left behind to fail Yeah, and our education system is based on age What like seriously? How old is everyone here on this chat? That we're talking right now We're spanning about 50 plus I Know there are 40 somethings may might be here 30 somethings 20 somethings and teens right We're spanning 40 years and we're communicating sharing information. There are things that I know better than you There are things that you know better than me There's things that you know that are better than someone else on chat So we share information and we learn together our centralized education system Takes everybody and puts them in an age group If that was the case right now during the stream only 50 plus year olds could be on my stream Ridiculous, right? We're getting some numbers here. Let's read out the numbers 23 46 21 18 22 Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Where's the 30s at? We need some 30 rep here 20 Lima awesome Right crazy Centralized education destroys the love of learning. Yep. That's one way of putting it as well Just like organized religion destroys faith perfectly said, right and the love is missing I'm sure 573 87 think McBot that that 35 awesome. We got 35 30s representing My mother is a elementary school teacher and she went over all of math education They've revamped in California over the past few years with me. It seems as bad if not worse than before. Yeah made fresh daily I've been doing this for 20 years on a permanent basis. It's Collapsed in the last 15 like totally collapsed in the last 15 just pure garbage. I Have seen this happen. Very sad. Yeah That's exactly right for sure. It's happened to me As far as what was the link that I wanted to find you here. Let me see if I can find you the link I'm just going to my site. I'm gonna I'm just going to my site and I went to the edge education folder, right and Excerpts from three articles here. Let me click on this. I think this is it here Here's a just a piece I Compiled together and it's basically a call that excerpts from three articles on education Dorothy Sayers Richard P. Feynman, John Taylor Gato. Okay And the article that I mentioned with Richard Feynman writing about textbooks how textbooks are chosen is in that and John Taylor Gato is always worth reading Regarding education The other person is Krishna Morty Krishna Morty on education education and the significance of life at that time when I wrote that thing I don't think I've read Krishna Morty yet
