One of the biggest problem of maths education is that they are taught by people who dislike it. They think of maths as eating bitter medicine or training of a complex, rigid skill. The way maths is taught by them is clumsy and authoritarian, and this makes the students either passive or rebellious. On a side note, recently the government of Manitoba in Canada removed requirement for maths teachers to take university maths courses. This is being pushed strongly by the education departments of university, which shows how much these maths teachers hate maths. |

That is messed up. Harsh. What is also messed up is that to become a math teacher, you have to go to teacher's college. That's one reason why I never became a teacher. I think I would do better than most at teaching (at least based on the comments I got in my student teacher reviews) but spending another two years at school is rather humiliating and costly.
