This article resonated! I also have feet like this which are only really happy in docs. The Clarks assistants of the 80s would declare they did wide shoes, then measure my feet and realise - not that wide! Dogtanian will now be playing in my head every time I ambitiously try a different shoe.

Which Nation’s Students Are Defying the Math Anxiety Trend? Math anxiety is up among students globally, but a few countries deviate from the pattern.

In 2012, kids in PISA tests scored their maths anxiety.

In 2022, they did the same.

In almost EVERY country in the world, reported maths anxiety has increased. That's despite different politics, cultures, maths curricula etc.
