Math is, more or less, the base science. I love it, but I understand how people end up hating it. It's taught in such a way that math problems and formulas are simply thrown at students for them to figure out. We rarely, at the primary education level, have discussions with students about math's role in physics, chemistry, biology, economics, music, art, sociology, etc.

If that connection were made early and regularly reinforced, more students might respect it for what it is - the common language that describes our universe, our world, and us.

Exactly. I find that general curiosity in regards to math and the sciences are shifted to the side in the place of teaching the same concepts over and over again. Discussion and curiosity should come first, the material can always be taught a little later. Philosophy should be taught in with math and the sciences and put in place much earlier than late-high school (or even university).

I took philosophy, but was never a fan of it outside of the core logic concepts.

Anyway, I think a part of the problem is that too many people don't care about education in general. They view it as something they HAVE to do, rather than something they WANT to do, especially during the adolescent years. When faced with an audience (class) that views it as a drudgery, it's hard to teach to those relative few who are genuinely excited about forming a more complete worldview.

But why does school have to be a drudgery? Clearly there's a problem somewhere, somehow people are getting this idea that school is boring and learning is dull. Honestly, I think it's because of the lack of creative effort. If classes were designed more around designing things based off of what was learned rather than learn and follow, there would be more effort put in by students since they have the opportunity to give their own 2 cents.

Life is fun as a kid since you get to play around, but learning should be playing around and being curious, not just boring work.

I think students and parents alike should have more choice in what schools and classes they think should attend (whether it's something oriented to science, history, art, or whatever), as well as eliminating standardized testing and other popular, yet baseless ways our children are protected and taught such as limiting homework (too much homework isn't a good thing and has been proven over and over) and zero tolerance policies (a well meaning federal law but ruined by state and local law that has led to many frivolous cases).

Obviously a student will still have to take the core classes, but I believe there should be more options available in terms of schooling and classes.

I hate it but love it when I finally understand it. :P

It's funny because I remember spending an hour on one equation from a Calculus book (I was PreCal at the time) and when I finally got the gist of it and checked my answer, it was right (or mostly right) and for a minute I liked math. But then there were moments where I studied my ass off only to fail or do average on a quiz/test. Math was never my strongest suit but I don't hate it.

That and this "game" isn't recent nor is it a major epidemic. It doesn't excuse this type of behavior but I have a feeling this whole thing is going to be exaggerated.

Iran isn't as stupid as everyone makes them out to be. Iran is a significant player in the Middle East, and they also helped send arms and fighters to try to overwhelm the us war effort in Iraq.

The reason why we haven't attacked Iran is because the US has no reason to do so unless Iran provokes us (ie attacks us or Israel).
