So as to not have to admit that certain kids are not up to it, and that it is correlated with race.
I’m a typical white guy but higher math and me never mixed.
My sister thinks algebra, calc, trig, etc is fun and easy. For me algebra was the only F I ever made in high school. Everything else A and B.
Having doctor level scribble didn’t help I’m sure. My comprehension is apparently out of whack.
However I am good at word/number problems such as accounting exercises. My sister would go into meltdown on most with two or three sentences.
