The Unreasonable Ineffectiveness of Mathematics Ed...
Math is hard and sucks because we are forced to do tedious and time consuming calculations by hand. Even with a calculator, it's still painful.
I basically cringe at khanacademy everytime they forced me to do this.

Mathematics is not about calculations. That's exactly the problem with math education, that the people designing the curriculum don't accept that.
