There's no such thing as "being good at math". You either put effort and practice to learn it, or you don't. Fixed va Growth Mindset, etc…

- JadeNB 10y ago> There's no such thing as "being good at math". You either put effort and practice to learn it, or you don't. I agree with your second sentence, and, as a mathematician and a teacher, I think that I agree with the spirit of the first, but I think that it's probably not worded as you mean. Think of the same sentence with, say, 'baseball' in place of 'math': I think that most people would agree with the second sentence, but not the first. By the same token, there's no such thing as "being inherently good" (or, for that matter, inherently bad) "at math"; but I think that it would be silly to pretend that the effort and practice don't make you good (or at least better) at it.
