If your job were just back-to-back meetings where you lacked the authority to interject, you'd essentially be doing what a typical American child does every starting at about age 6 Parents starting to get a real visceral dose of this now that their kids are on Zoom calls all dayhttps://twitter.com/indyfromspace/status/1247856156963409920 …
Do you know why so many children and adults hate math? Nothing about it is inherently aversive, though it is tricky— in large part because it's taught as a utility kit rather than an area of study. Few people know any real math. It's force, leading to trauma, netting mathphobes.

Wouldn't disagree with you (and I loved maths)! I would add that a lot of people dislike math because they believe they are bad at it, and THAT comes (often) from falling behind at some point and not catching up.

Falling behind *what*? There is absolutely nothing within mathematics that tells a child that they are too slow or too stupid. That's what adults do when they create an environment where children compete directly and are under immense pressure to not request help.
