Math teachers can’t apply math to real life

A simple proof

Math teachers can’t apply math to real life.

A simple proof:

1. A geometric progression looks like this: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32.

2. Math teachers teach geometric progression.

3. Math teachers DON’T allow students to talk to each other during lessons.

4. If students shared their knowledge of geometric progression 1:1 face-to-face, understanding would grow geometrically:
- 1 students understand,

- 2 students understand,

- 4 students understand,

- 8 students understand,

- 16 students understand,

- 32 students understand.

5. What we have in reality: students are allowed to talk for a maximum of 30 seconds per lesson.

6. So, no math teacher actually uses geometric progression in their lesson.
