I was a big math whiz in 1-8th grade.
then in high school, I sort of coasted through without really learning anything.
in college, all of that came back to bite my arse. im finally getting back to where I ought to be.
I think high schools ought to be less afraid to fail students. If I thought I stood a chance of failing, I would have risen to the challenge...but there was never a challenge, therefore, I didnt learn the material.
