this was my biggest gripe w/ academic math. Whenever i'd ask my teachers how these concepts are applied in the real world, i'd get a non-answer that showed me a) the teachers themselves have no clue and b) they're hoping you'll just shut up and follow the curriculum.

I agree that we are ripe for an educational system that is truly disruptive. Our current educators are so disconnected from the real world and have no idea how to apply what they teach.
