Fifty Six
I have heard the quote "you need maths in order to survive" many of times. Especially from my maths teacher. I just want to take the time, to officially, prove him wrong. Many people, possibly myself, have something that's called Dyscalculia. So, is he stating that everyone who has Dyscalculia or just struggles with maths will die? Is he saying that, without maths, your heart will simply stop beating? No. It won't. The only thing that Dyscalculia will do, is limit your opportunities in life. Yeah, you will struggle when it come's to thing's such as shopping for say a family, but this is where online shopping can help. It will add up all the price for you, and if you go over your limit, you can simply take an item off your list. Even if you physically go to the store, just calculate everything online, make a list, and you know exactly what your spending. Of course there are other thing's in life that could be a problem such as calculating bills ect. Although, if you get someone to show you how to work it out a few time's, write the method down, keep the method, then you can use it every time you need to do it. There are ways to get around these thing's, and there are people to help. I can accept that people who do understand maths will live longer then those who don't - due to job opportunities ect, However, I'd appreciate it, if my maths teacher would stop making out that if I don't get maths, all my organs will go in to failure.
