So, Thaths....you too (like most other people I know) are laying the aversion at the feet of bad (or at best, unimaginative) teachers. This is something I am still pondering about. Even allowing that I had bad teachers, why is it that I have made no effort in the years thereafter, to re-learn some mathematics, and see if I fare better? Is there a genuine lacuna in my brain with regard to this subject...or has the bad teaching created a lifetime mental block?
