Not enough Asians! I confess, I had a terrible time in math. As a child in Illinois, I was taught the "New Math", where you were introduced to advanced concepts in grade school. en.wikipedia.org Then, my dad's company relocated to Oxford, Mississippi. I had the New Math drummed right out of me by teachers that admitted I had produced the right answers, but I hadn't done it in a way they understood, or the way I "should" be doing it - so the answers were "wrong". Then, a year later, the corp was bought by another corp, they didn't need another VP of advertising, so my dad moved us to Austin, Tx. because he'd always liked the place and my mom had family there. My algebra teacher there was a coach making a little extra moolah teaching an academic course. He had us read out loud from the book, didn't seem to actually understand algebra himself and couldn't help anyone get it.
