- kurtosis 17y agoI think that the biggest limitation is the number of qualified teachers. Surely not everyone has the aptitude to learn these ideas, but of those who do only a tiny fraction are given access to quality instructors. It was definitely not a part of my traditional instruction. I had to stay after and nag my teacher until he explained it to me. There's not much glory in it but it's really fun to think of ways to present "advanced" topics in an elementary form.
