It all depends on how you approach it I guess. Its not as if you can't truly learn math in our system. Its just that you can get by on strict rote memorization and practice all the way through calculus 1. Once that is no longer an option a lot of people are screwed.

But that's my point....the number of people who even take Calc I is infinitesimal compared against the overall US population.

ehh

i dunno proofs in geometry and a good algebra2/pre-calc class should give these people fits

usually people get behind on concepts and cover with memorization, but it should catch up to them with analytical frameworks like proofs or, often, word problems. issues with word problems was typically a relatively easy sign of a person who was faking
