Does anyone else feel like no matter how much you study, math just doesn’t click? I spend hours on problems and still get them wrong.
I’ve tried videos, apps, and asking friends, but it’s still a struggle. At this point, I think math might just hate me.
Hi everyone! I just graduated with a BA in Communications and I’m really interested in pursuing a career as a school guidance counselor in NYC.
I’d love to hear from anyone who works or has worked in NYC schools:
• What is the salary like, especially for someone starting out versus more experienced counselors?
• What education or certifications did you need to get your foot in the door? (I know a Master’s is usually required — any tips on programs that NYC employers respect?)
• How competitive is the job market for school counselors in NYC?
Any advice, personal experiences, or resources you found helpful would be amazing — thanks so much in advance!
I'm a teacher who unfortunately was in a very bad accident a few months ago and had to step down from my position due to being unable to work. I'm at the point that as much as I truly love teaching, I feel like there's not going to be any education unless people step up to fight the war on public, patriotic education for every child.
Is there any groups out there that actually offer some salary for work? I'm looking for something like the anti-moms for liberty. I'm even willing to run for office if they ask me. But I want to contribute with more then cash.
Hi r/Education,
I’m a computer science student who has struggled with math throughout my academic life. Despite doing well in most subjects, university-level math has been a constant obstacle for me. I’ve had to repeat multiple courses, and traditional study methods never really worked with the way my brain processes information.
Over time I noticed something interesting: whenever I built my own tools to support learning, I improved much faster. Creating structured, interactive systems helped me understand concepts that textbooks and static exercises couldn’t.
Because of that experience, a friend and I recently started working on a project aimed at making math learning more intuitive and interactive. The idea is to combine several tools that are usually scattered across different websites into a single platform:
Our goal is not to replace teachers, but to create a supplemental tool that supports different learning styles. Especially for students who struggle with traditional approaches.
Our focus is primarily on tools that help students explore and understand math concepts, rather than on creating full traditional courses.
We’re currently building an early version and opening a waitlist for people who want to try it when it’s ready.
I’m posting here because I’d really like feedback from actual educators and students:
Any thoughts or constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
Submission Statement:
This post is relevant to r/Education because it seeks discussion and feedback about educational technology for math learning from the perspective of both students and educators. The purpose is not to advertise a product, but to gather informed opinions about what makes digital learning tools genuinely useful in real educational settings.

Super stupid question here lol. I am applying to a technical college, and I am filling out student aid forms. On one of the forms it asks if you have a high school degree or equivalent. The specific program I have applied for only requires report on scores for the Language Arts test, so I stupidly thought it meant I could click yes on the GED option. Will I get in trouble because I have not received the full credential? Or do Tech Colleges even care if I get the full credential in 2 days?
I have a child that is 14 yo that is constantly late and winds up missing school. I work, a single parent, and have to leave an hour before the child needs to get up. I’ve told her she’s going to have to start getting up when I leave since the alarm does nothing to her. My parents when she calls when awakens late and misses bus. They’re 30 minutes and 20 miles from my home. I’m at my wits end. Her mom left last year but 9 times out of ten has an excuse about not being able to come get her. I know she should be getting up. I may need my job to keep a roof over our head.
hey educators,
I want to create interactive quizzes for people I want to teach a few skills. what tool is the best and easiest to use?
I am looking for something that will track the progress as well. Has anyone tried ProProfs Quiz Maker? The reviews online are good just want to check if anyone has tried it here.
