Nothing in real life is solved by plugging data into a magic formula: You'd better start thinking...

For teachers: Dan Meyer (Math Teacher) shows how he feels while selling a product that nobody wants to buy (except those forced by law).

For students: are you one of those students selecting data and inventing relationship between them to "hopefully solve" the problem? Bad news! In real life, nothing good, happy or brilliant is solved that easy.

It is not too late to face a change. It may be your first day at University. You have plenty of time yet!
