Bad at Math Myth

As a high school teacher of physics and astronomy I hear students say all the time "I'm bad at math."  I always tell them, no, you're not.  You're just choosing to be bad at math.  Turn your attitude around and you'll be good at math.

Here's an excellent article in The Atlantic that discusses the "I'm bad at math" myth.  It's an excellent read that I encourage you to check out.

Bad at Math Myth

Prepare yourself as a parent because there's a decent chance that one day your son/daughter will come home one day with a poor math score and say "I'm bad at math".  How you respond to them at that moment could change their life forever!
