I don't like to sit through math lessons. It's because of the lecturers of course. Every teacher is different but there sure is a pattern. Like when he/she turns around and starts talking to the blackboard instead of the people in the class. He isn't interested in people anyway otherwise he wouldn't have been interested in math in the first place. Then he usually starts to write a theorem on the board. The same which is already in the book! But in the book it's usually written complete and in a nice readable font. It takes ages before the theorem is on the board but still sort of incomplete. Mathematics should be beautiful at all times.
Math teachers should do what they are good at. Writing mathematics in books, correcting papers, exams and that kind of stuff. The process of learning and understanding math is usually not done in a classroom anyway. And if there is some form of knowledge transfer going on then it can't be to all students involved. For most of them it will be either too slow or too fast. Math should be read and not listened to.

Mathematics: is it the fabric of MEST?
This is my voyage
My continuous mission
To uncover hidden structures
To create new theorems and proofs
To boldly go where no man has gone before

(Raumpatrouille – Die phantastischen Abenteuer des Raumschiffes Orion, colloquially aka Raumpatrouille Orion was the first German science fiction television series. Its seven episodes were broadcast by ARD beginning September 17, 1966. The series has since acquired cult status in Germany. Broadcast six years before Star Trek first aired in West Germany (in 1972), it became a huge success.)
