But some kids are just bad at math. Some kids are bad at sports, music, dance, etc. Some kids are good at some things and kids are good at different things.
- cortesoft 5y agoYes, some kids are bad at math... but they could be better than they are. Let's use your example of sports, for example. Yes, no matter how much I train and practice running, I will never be as fast as Usain Bolt... but I sure will be faster than if I didn't practice at all.
- commandlinefan 5y agoYes, that's correct. So you (and I) should be taking remedial running and Usain should be taking AP running.
- dahfizz 5y agoYou're making a straw man that non-advanced math class == no math class. The lower level math class is exactly where you belong to train up your math ability. You wouldn't expect to practice running with the same routine that marathon runners use.
