Re: And we wondered what is wrong with our education system?
So that's why I had trouble with math Senior year!
Let me explain. One major problem with the textbook I was given was that the problems demonstrated in the examples in the book and in class were VERY different from the actual problems in the book. It'd tell me how to solve one process (sequence? pattern?), but then they'd give us another to solve with which the methods taught to us would not work with.
And yes, we did get a lot of "stamp problems".
