Don’t like math? Just kill yourself.
It is a little more then that.
Kids are often not taught foundational learning in elementary school.
Maths, reading, spelling, basic science. The reading is a big thing. The percentage of kids who are not literate is rather astounding.
American kids start school ahead of most of the world. By fourth grade they have fallen so far behind that there is no catching up without major intervention which they do not get.
When they arrive in high school there is no way they can do the work. They are made to feel as if this is their fault and they are failures. This works very well with boys. They will then kill themselves.
