In all fairness, one of Princeton’s highest faculty members was poor at basic math. However he was a whiz at the higher levels. His name was Al Einstein I believe.

Do you really believe that statement?

Really?

Can't do basic math and a genius at higher level math?

Do you realize the craziness of that statement?

Or do you prefer to believe that kids not know BASIC math willmiraclulost be Einsteins?

LOL!!!

Contrary to popular myth, Einstein was good at simple math.

While Einstein was not a mathematician, the belief that he "was poor at basic math" is a pc myth spread by those who devalue math skills."

Where he had problem, when young, and why he was a slow learner was his language skills: he didn't even begin to speak until almost two years old.

An impossibility.

Edison claimed proficiency with sufficient understanding of the higher levels. He was also declared an academic failure.

Neither of these cases provide rational justification for the systematic failures in education today.
