It does depend on the kid, and how they learn. Elementary school was challenging for me, but I also had some learning disabilities-DiGeorge Syndrome.. Middle school got harder. However, it was high school I really struggled with. I did learn, later on, that kids with my syndrome often drop out of school because of how hard it is. My dad said that was always an option, but didn't want to suggest it, too much. I discovered how much I loved learning, that way. He raised me to understand it's okay to get a C average.. So I mostly got C's, and B's, When I really wanted an A, I would try and work twice as hard. However, with math I could NEVER do. I took a math class three dang times, in college, and it still didn't register, lol Edit: My aunt thinks I'm "highly intelligent." I disagree, but it's always nice to hear

Dude legit I had to take math three times in college too. My brain goes whacky seeing math. I never learned like the other kids, I was always behind. It got me sent to a special school during High School, where I had an IEP . Never got diagnosed, but was highly suspected I was somewhere on the Autism spectrum. But I definitely relate to the math and just struggling in school in general.

The only class I excelled at in school was English, I loved English and reading in High School. Not saying my grammar is the best but I did enjoy the subject over all. Everything else I just failed or barely passed. It's funny because when I was in third grade our teacher took us to the library to pick out books, and I remember I choose this big chapter book and we had to show her what books we picked out and she told me, "This book is too advance for you." And I had to put it back. It made me feel so small and stupid, I think back and if I were the adult in that situation and I had a student, maybe she wasn't as fast as the other kids but she picked out a book that she thought looked interesting, I would encourage her to read it anyway. But...jokes on her, I had a closet filled to top with books as I got older.

Sadly, I can relate to Sheldon asking the teacher if she read the same book as the one she assigned to them. I s**t you not when I say I had a teacher that didn't know Frankenstein was the scientist, not the monster.

I think it has something to do with retention Because I got an A in a logic class I took a few years ago.

I know that they don't teach logic in classrooms. So that is something I'd want to work on, with my kid. I plan on having one, or two-at the most. Kind of like Bernie and Howie. Two and done , lol. Boy and girl. And of course, two of either would be fine

Placing limits on students based on your preconception of them is really sad :( Sorry you had to deal with that!

One of my friends had dyscalculia none of us, including them, knew what it was until we were in our 20s. Made math so difficult!
