Math is the Great Equalizer?

Jamie Escalante, famous math teacher, said:

“Math is the great equalizer.”

He made the statement to encourage moniroty students to study math very hard each day and to simply point out that math is the only subject that can reduce pride in certain people.

As a high school math tutor, I agree 100%.

Your view?

I was good at maths. My child is great at maths. But I don’t think it’s the greatest equalizer in this sense. I think humanity is the one. If a kid learn early about leadership, morality, ethics and the skill to synthesize and present ideas, he/she will have great influence and command over others. And from that the kid will become very competitive and humane at the same time. Other skills like mathematics, science, … only support a good human character.

That’s why I teach my child about values, ethics and philosophy from a very young age along with logic, science and mathematics.
