[Serious] What are your overall opinions on people who are idiots in math?

[arewethereyet]

Regular math is something I use every day as a bookkeeper. Algebra makes me cry and I am sure anything more advanced would make me want to slit my wrists.

When I went to college a few years ago, I had to take and pass two Algebra classes. Enough finally clicked, with lots of work on my part, so that I was able to get the credits I needed and actually did well.

I really think that if my HS teacher had a clue how to teach Algebra, I'd have done better. But nuns are often assigned where they need a warm body and are not necessarily placed according to their skill.
