Why Maths Should Not Be Taught In Schools

Do you remember you first day of school? The excitement and nervous feeling when looking at the door, and how happy you were to learn new things every day. Seeing your new friends in the recess and every class was your favorite class. But, as life moves on, many of the small kindergartners we once were have grown up and become high school students. Students in high school rarely mention enjoying the homework or classes, and even the process of learn-ing isn’t as interesting anymore. And dolefully, for most students, inclusively myself, the math-ematics courses are the main problem. The impressively wide range of mathematics classes in the average American high school can lead to confusion and frustration for the students. In some foreign countries, mainly in Europe, the schools have one single math class, explaining and shortly introducing almost every basic field in the world of math. Then, later in the educa-tion system, students can then choose to specialize in certain areas and fields of …show more content…
Imagine trying to learn algebra, but without knowing basic addition and multiplication, it would be like learning to ride a bike without the saddle. If a student has been introduced to the different fields of math while learning the basics, it would improve their understanding when attempting to learn those fields later. And even though some students may not specialize spe-cific aspects of mathematics further in life, then they still know they exist. Furthermore, if a student then chooses to learn a special category of math, the student would be able to think back to the introduction, and evaluate on which basics are used in the more complicated equa-tions. Not only would this simplify the learning process and hopefully make it more interesting to continue learning mathematics, it would also reduce the amount of students that only choose the math classes required by
