My math teacher, when I said I did not know how to do the home work: “Well, just do more math!”
How do you expect me to do more math, when I do not know how?
On hindsight, he was right… I should have re-done quite a bit of the math courses, properly, so that I would have had the basis to advance. At that moment, he did not have the time to help me, since he knew I had been left too far behind to quickly catch up. It just felt so stupid to teen age me. I ended up dropping out of the higher math courses and just did the basic ones. Ended up with great scores for the basic maths, with a far better mental health. I had been strugling with math for so long.
