I remember learning graphing in math. I knew about x and y but then the teacher wanted to teach us about "z". My mind was blown and I had SO MANY questions. Unfortunate, my knowledge didn't meet my curiousity and I wasn't able to understand the answers.

"Z" is soooo simple once you know it. It's like a switch, now you don't know, now you do. Your teacher, had he or she (I'm guessing he, a woman would probably have been more supportive of her girls) taken a little bit of time and trouble to help you, could have helped you over that hurdle. Could have, no. Should have. Isn't that what a teacher is supposed to do?
I'm sure that you were caught in the same trap many girls fall into.
| Girls aren't good at the sciences and besides, why do they need an education to cook and have babies. I'll put my effort into something useful like helping these dumb jocks get scholarships. |
Trust me, I'm a doctor.
Oh no. and they did not care to expound upon that? Help an obviously thirst for knowledge student actually learn? This is a shame

I had similar experiences, particularly in math but also in other subjects. To a certain extent, I believe the teachers were often (ir)responsible, but the whole education system itself has many problems with standardized learning.
It makes me wonder whileI read all these comments. Was my curiosity stunted? It is true that after that class math got "too hard" for me and I concentrated on reading/writing instead of math.
I'd never put thought into it before. Im glad I commented, thanks for the prospective.
