hating and being bad at maths is actually “cool” and “hip” with the young people.

That is nothing new, it is called being a teenager. It is part of the human physiological development where we push back against our childhood authority figures in an attempt to define our selfhood.

You (and I and all of us) were as insufferable as teens as the current generation.

This is not limited to teenagers.

True. Most grow out of it but many don't.

Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.
