^Qwerty, yes the math teacher said that! I think she was bitter or something–maybe the only job she could get was as a teacher, when what she wanted was to be an engineer or something. Not sure. Anyway, my sister had that same teacher for AP Calc (sister was good at math) and got the same line. However, my sister went on to become an engineer in spite of the discouragement. Or maybe because of it?

The teacher’s attitude had the opposite effect on me, made me hate math & not try very hard. But I had no innate math talent…I do wonder what I might have learned with a better teacher!
