If you're a good pedagogue, please help out.
Teaching isn't easy, and the abundance of poor pedagogy is surely a big reason why so many people develop mathematical anxiety.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_anxiety
> Students often develop mathematical anxiety in schools, often as a result of learning from teachers who are themselves anxious about their mathematical abilities in certain areas. Typical examples of areas where mathematics teachers are often incompetent or semi-competent include fractions, (long) division, algebra, geometry "with proofs", calculus, and topology.
The programming world lately is inundated with tutorials that take their pedagogical style from the Teletubbies or at best Bob Ross. Maybe that is not a viable way of teaching Haskell—maybe there will need to be actual study involved, with textbooks and exercises and trained teachers. I don't really know.

> So, if I look into my foggy crystal ball at the future of computing science education, I overwhelmingly see the depressing picture of "Business as usual". The universities will continue to lack the courage to teach hard science, they will continue to misguide the students, and each next stage of infantilization of the curriculum will be hailed as educational progress.
