Korgar (an Orc math teacher) is rather forceful in his approach to classroom protocol.

When I was in secondary school, I was scolded for not using a calculator in math class, for adding up scores on peer tests and such. I always used long multiplication and long division, which slowed down the process and everyone was annoyed with me. For many things, we were expected to use a calculator to get the result for an equation, without actually been given any formula tools or explanation of what the equations were about to comprehend them. I would like to have been given the knowledge to understand what Trig was, so that I could get results from thinking, rather than pushing buttons on a hand-held computer. "Oh, we're teaching this to you to develop your critical thinking." Really? Then why am I not being allowed to think?
Yeah, we were being taught behaviours, not knowledge. A chimpanzee can match shapes and push buttons in exchange for a reward. I found the majority of math classes to be extremely frustrating, because I didn't know what was going on or how to solve anything when I'd forgotten the order of operations. I failed grade 11 math because I found it grossly incomprehensible, and I had too much pride to ask for help.
Fast forward to now, I use spreadsheets to process math, because I can think about the tasks that I need to accomplish, see the required formulas visually, and I get the results that I want because I understand what I'm doing.
