    I was one of those students who asked how it would be used, the teachers didn’t do the whole real world application part, and I never needed to go past trig.

    I work with engineers and use math like any other human on the planet but really wish mathematics was taught differently to make it more interesting. You hear a PHD candidate talk about the hairy ball problem and the math is interesting. Math class never was.

    To translate: As a child learning math this equates to “ignore math, the explanations don’t explain anything real, they only explain more math.“

    “The only explanation is more abstraction with no real world application as far as math class is concerned. Frankly, there’s more application to your own life experience if you focus on language and the arts.”

    One has worked with Bernie Sanders and helped get some his goals achieved in policy and legislature.

    The other hired his own children despite their inability to get security clearances, cheated on his wife while she was at home with their newborn, paid illegal hush money over that matter, stole classified documents and likely gave them to adversaries, likely compromised national security multiple times, sowed doubt in our elections with zero evidence to back it up, blew up the debt, fucked up the Supreme Court and has said he’d ignore the constitution, term limits all of that.

    But both sides amirite?
