No offense, but if you were really going to go for it as a math major I think a minor stumble like getting a 'B' would have just made you double down. Point set topology was the gut-check class for me.
On the article topic, this is pretty bad. Common Core 'intuitive' BS aside, kids need earlier exposure to algebraic concepts, it was the main reason they failed the elementary calculus and probability courses in college that I ended up teaching them. It was very draining to be wasting my time trying to explain to a senior at Georgia Tech how to solve 2x=1 and then by analogy 3x=1, though they could see no similarities between the two equations.
