You Are Not Alone
While thinking about you recently, and being a sociologist, I got the idea to do an internet search for “Common Regrets of American Adults”.
What I found was a “TOP 10” List which you might find interesting. Look at these four regrets that made the list:
-“Not finishing college”
-“Not doing better in high school especially in math”
-“Not getting my dream job”
-“Not buying my dream house”
Maybe you are actually living with some of these regrets yourself. Maybe you are just hoping not to become a “statistic”. Either way, you can do something NOW to put yourself in a better position to live your life with fewer regrets.

Girls + Math = Fail
Are you female? There is a boatload of research that finds the American educational system guilty of sabotaging its students’ mathematics education, especially if you are female!
Check this out from Change.org/education:
Girls learn to suck at math from teacher insecurities.
Girls + Math = Fail
XX chromosome can’t do math.
Most primary school teachers can go through college math-free, so they’re overall more likely to have insecurities. And since an overwhelming majority of elementary teachers are women, they are passing on the message that girls suck at math and it’s OK.
Randolph E Schmidt, Associated Press Science writer adds, “Little girls may learn to fear math from the women who are their earliest teachers.”
Erin Moss, a frequent blogger on various current topics says, “Math is just another dirty four letter word, an awful obstacle that they (students) probably won’t overcome”. Moss blames parents, for passing down their own math anxiety to their children.
Stereotypes? A thirty-seven year old Asian man wants you to know, “I suck at math, and I don’t know Karate!”
President Obama told school kids in his now famous “First Day of School Speech” in September 2009, "I was fortunate. I got a lot of second chances. Here in America you write your own destiny. You make your own future,”
