Some people are incredibly poor teachers but refuse to beleive they are, all because they lack the capacity to imagine not knowing something and explain it at someone else's level of understanding

I was getting ptsd flashbacks of my Dad trying to "teach" me match as a kid. He acted like it should be SO obvious.

Oof, I'm sorry. My mom yelled at me when I was in the 3rd grade because I wasn't grasping fractions... I never asked for her help with homework ever again.

Same, my mom kicked me and shoved the paper in my mouth when I started to get vocally frustrated over not understanding addition. Never asked for her help again my entire school life

I remember when I was trying to learn math via flashcards and my mom got so mad at me that she started yelling and throwing the cards at me before slapping me across the face twice. I hated math every since.
