How do you respond with people who are not really good in terms of academics especially in mathematics?
Do you really need to judge people who are not good in mathematics?
Do you always think people who are excellent in mathematics are always smart and intelligent?
Are you harsh when it comes to people who have forgotten the rules in mathematics?
Does it turn you off when other people are not good in mathematics even basic math?
I have seen the illustration on facebook pages such as Just For Laughs and other fanpage. I believe this was really meant for fun but what happened here was different.
So here's the equation that it was indicated on the illustration

Just because of the simple mathematical equation people are becoming hostile in responding to this problem. The argument here was if MDAS rule is a must or anything multiplied by zero is always a zero. Now upon reading the comments of people I am really wondering that how come they can't be educated, matured or civil enough to remind other people of what they have learned during elementary days. How come they need to be harsh and throw below the belt comments just to prove what they believe is right. Or maybe they thought that putting down other people will make them great and smart but definitely they are wrong because it is a reflection that there is something wrong with a person's attitude or personality.
No wonder now why the world is always in trouble such as family, relationship or lovelife even married life because they can't even apply the simple GMRC or some other people are really failure in terms of communication that they don't want to understand each other. The first thing in their mind when communicating is to degrade other people or become hostile to prove themselves. I really find pity with all those people who can't be matured enough to defend what they believe is right. If they are projecting that they are intelligent and smart then they should act intelligently with dignity.

As a parent and a primary school teacher I know that people have a different ability in Mathematics. Some find Maths interesting and enjoyable. Others find Maths difficult and challenging. Many people find that Maths is hard work, bothersome and boring. I know that it is essential to know basic Maths for day to day living. I would not be hostile to another person due to his or her knowledge of Maths. A game is for fun so I would treat it like that. I would say well done for the person having a go.

That is good mentality because it is hard to become hostile to a person who is not good in math. We must have long patience in order for them to learn and can think without any confusion and hesitation. Hence the students does not have to feel that they must be afraid if in case that they did wrong.
