<p>"Here’s something to consider: Many people who are turned off by math in school get turned on to math later. Either because they see how it is used out in the real world, and that matters to them, and gives them the motivation they need to learn more, or because higher-level math deals with problems that are very different from Algebra I or Pre-Calc. It is lots of very careful logic layered step by step into complex, beautiful patterns; it isn’t so much plugging numbers into formulas and performing calculations. "</p>
<p>Very well said, and so true!</p>
