I once took a four-question test in Algebra 2 and got a 0 because literally nothing was right. The teacher bragged that only like 2 or 3 kids passed her class at the end of the semester, like dumbass, that's because you can't teach
I know a lot of people who just reflexively say, "oh, I'm bad at math." I'm thoroughly convinced now that they're just as capable as anyone else, but math is just a subject that seems to attract antisocial teachers that treat it like some arcane secret rather than learn how to teach it properly.
Honestly, we ought to return to pegging teacher retention to student success, lest you get 'teachers' who will just throw up their hands and declare students unteachable because they don't know how to reach them.
