It’s simple, really. Morons can’t learn much of anything.

Some draw the line at algebra as being the great separator of economic success.

I just don't have any patience with the "I can't do math" crowd. A lifelong friend (we grew up together) is learning disabled (mother chain smoked during pregnancy, as near as we can figure). He made it through normal school (albeit in the "slow" classes) and actually got into community college. Some friends and I who stayed local for college tutored him (actually dragged him kicking and screaming) successfully through college algebra. If he can do it, anyone can. It takes as much hard work as it does brains.
