      That’s fine. That just means that you’re not good at Math or not good at teaching. I’m sure you’re good at other things.

        I remember hearing this alot growing up, how “you are not a math person”, and I believed it.

        Now I have a masters in mechanical engineering and a few patents. Don’t believe this trope of “you aren’t good at math”.
