math is pervasive and inevitable.

the only people that can escape it in their professional lives are republican politicians.

I like math quite a lot, but I don’t really use it in my job as a language teacher. I guess there’s a small amount of addition and division in grading, but there are also programs that automatically do that for you.

Gotta count heads for attendance, too.

Also time.

Nah, I teach adult immigrants, so if they don’t show up, that’s their business. As for time, I don’t know that I really consider that math.

Either way, counting and time are two things that republicans politicians also have to do, tallying up the votes in congress and figuring out exactly how long they can draw that process out. At some point, I suspect they’ll give up vote tallying, but we’re not there quite yet.
