7. As a person whose brain likes geometry but not math...

...I totally dig #6, too!

I can SEE "x" but not THINK "x." There's "x"! It's a line. It's longer than the other lines. It's opposite a right angle. And, if what you want from me is a number, mark off the lines in segments so I can SEE it! Sheesh!

I used to HATE math multiple choice tests because of this. I don't think that way! To get a number for "x" in this problem, I would need origami paper and a pencil and scissors. I would cut out sections of paper, notch them and compare. Or just give me a ruler! I understand the problem VISUALLY, and, in any practical application, my solution would be perfect. I can draw perfect triangles, squares or other shapes all day long. I can fit them together with ease and elegance. I cannot tell you how to get a number for "x" in this problem, to this day. I had an orthodox education--I'm sure they taught me this formula. I don't retain it.

Multiple choice tests do not--and probably cannot--measure what I know about angles and shapes. And that is a huge failure of our educational system! Or rather, the failure is that the educational system only values what it can measure in this way. The kid who circled the "x" and put an arrow to it (he/she "found" it) is right on. That answer is a work of art! It should have gotten an "A"! A work of art--and a howl of pain at being born round and then being stuffed into a box by the educational system.
