1) You’ve been told over and over again that it’s “hard”, so you don’t actually try to understand it. (In that respect, is “math bigotry” very different from racial bigotry?)
2) It’s a system of “rules” which cannot be fudged, not matter how hard you try. Some folks (no names here) can’t tolerate that.

Not scary. Math only bites you when you don’t pay attention to it.

Two common reasons for having trouble with math:
1) You’ve been told over and over again that it’s “hard”, so you don’t actually try to understand it. (In that respect, is “math bigotry” very different from racial bigotry?)
2) It’s a system of “rules” which cannot be fudged, not matter how hard you try. Some folks (no names here) can’t tolerate that.
