[Describe panel here]

The way we teach math is terrible. Kids need to be shown that they can use what they learn.

What are you talking about? Have you ever met a living child?

Do kids ever look up from minecraft or pokémon cards or a harry potter book and say "this is boring because it's not relevant to real life?"

The whole real life thing is complete bullshit! You think kids skip math because it isn't relevant? They skip math for the same reason adults who could advance their careers by learning math still don't learn math. Because math is hard and humans are lazy.

A tiny number of freaks enjoy it and are good at it, but they are exceptions. Pointing them out as your success stories is like claiming credit because you had an 8 foot tall student who got into the nba!

Humans are apes. You want a room full of 14 year old boys to love mathematics? Pay a stripper to walk around in a unitard lamenting that she doesn't understand how to compute a fast fourier transform. Bam! Instant prodigies.

I... was gonna give my students a speech about job skills.

Oh they will be enthralled!

How boring. I'll never use these harry potter spells in real life.
