Let''s stop hating Math

[i3670]

It's sad to see that in Sweden, pupils view mathematics as unnecessary and boring. I've always found it interesting, when I understand it, and feel really disappointed when I hear young people talking down on math.

As an example, many Swedish 7-9th graders couldn't solve 4/5 + 2/3. I asked my little brother who is currently on that level of math to solve it and he answered incorrectly to which he replied "Oh, so I'm like everyone else, great!".
