Fair enough...and I taught plenty of future "ditch diggers" Calculus too. Call me an idealist, but I would rather we didn't start writing-off children in lower Elementary school.

I loved calculus. Honestly, I loved math in general. I used to tutor a lot of kids and I understood very early on that the way I explained things with one kid may not work with the next one which may be why I have such strong feelings about this.

Typical teacher union mentality right here: Don't write that kid off yet, because we can hold all of them back till he catches up.
