I find that the lack of real-life / real-world applications for mathematics from teachers holds certain students back in pursuing more maths (and in general other subjects).

IMHO, teachers who present mathematics as an abstract art are doing their students a disservice. Mathematics, and logic, are extremely relevant ... especially in the digital age.

For example, the blockchain at the base of this forum is really just a combination of mathematical forumlas and logical procedures. To thrive on the platform, one needs to master the mathematics behind the blockchain.
