Why Most Students Hate Math (And It's Not Their Fault)

What if students don't actually hate math—they've simply never been taught to truly understand it?

In this episode, educator and entrepreneur Akil Parker, founder of All This Math and creator of Hismatics, shares his journey from classroom teacher to full-time educational entrepreneur. Together, we explore conceptual learning, culturally relevant teaching, Common Core misconceptions, entrepreneurship, educational equity, and why great teachers help students understand the world—not just memorize formulas.

This conversation is packed with practical insights for teachers, instructional leaders, and anyone passionate about improving education.
