Comment on Math is not linear, so why do we teach it like that?

Comments

Doesn't just apply to math. Applies to education in general. It's like someone one day decided that it's ludicrous someone might actually want to learn something to do something cool and decided to take the safer systematic approach to education. Only problem is that this systematic approach actually disadvantages those who want to learn, especially the ones with ADHD ('cause it's harder for them to shift focus to something they aren't immediately interested in).
