I teach Communication at college but I was a math minor in undergrad. I hear my students complain about math class all the time, how they hate math, and it isn't rare to hear students say they have taken the same math class multiple times. I've glanced at the math book and it is basic stuff. I don't know how but we need to get kids to not hate math before we can do anything else.
