I do not envy the burdens that teachers bear. Getting an apathetic group to start caring is exceedingly tricky, and that seems to be the situation many modern teachers are in. According to r/Teachers, modern K-12 students do not care about doing a good job, parents perpetually blame the teachers for their kids’ failures, and …

‘STEM majors when people don’t immediately consider them superior’: Math student gets ‘ew’ed on dating app for mentioning math, gets roasted for being upset
In college, you hear the same thing about your major repeatedly.

Homeschool mom asks niece to teach illiterate 9-year-old daughter who can’t add single digit numbers: ‘I don’t think 4 hours once a week is enough at all’
One of the biggest arguments coming from the pro-homeschooling camp is that kids shouldn’t have to sit and be quiet for 7 hours a day. It is a little insane that we ask 6 and 7-year-olds to conform to a schedule that mirrors that of a full-time job. While it’s highly demanding in concept, it’s …

Pi Day Memes For Math Fans Who Can Count Beyond 3.14
Oh, Pi Day; I had no idea I’d still celebrate you five years after taking my last mathematics course. I don’t mean to diminish the impact of this year’s Pi Day, but it seems like it peaked as an «internet holiday» over ten years ago. Maybe it’s because I was in middle school and on …

«I would lose my mind here»: Incompetent teacher claims 1 divided by 0 is zero, principal backs her up on incorrect answer
Math is one of those subjects that has a distinct right and wrong. In English class, you can write an essay that argues basically anything you want as long as you can use the text to support your arguments. In art class, there is so much room for creative liberties, even if you’re given a …

A Sequence of Math Memes for Big-Brained Nerds
I was one of those kids who absolutely despised math. Learning how to count up to someone’s change at my first cashier job was a traumatizing experience. To this day, I start sweating if my dinner date is watching me as my pea-sized brain does summersaults to calculate tip percentages. As an adult, I’ve had …

The Funniest Programming Memes of the Week (February 26, 2023)
Being a relatively new programmer is like living in two completely different worlds. Non-programmers think you are the absolute dog’s meow.
