If your job were just back-to-back meetings where you lacked the authority to interject, you'd essentially be doing what a typical American child does every starting at about age 6 Parents starting to get a real visceral dose of this now that their kids are on Zoom calls all dayhttps://twitter.com/indyfromspace/status/1247856156963409920 …

Actually spend some time with 6 year olds; tell me they can't learn all that and more inside of a month. Learn some actual math concepts (you likely know none; you know operations). Try teaching them to a child. Read the Mathematician's Lament. Stop parroting stupid tropes.

Ouch! I have a degree in engineering - I won't claim to remember every last bit, but I do know a few math concepts. I work with kids down to age 7 (although my fiancee teaches ages 5/6) and kids absolutely internalise ideas about being bad at things at that age.

I don't think that. I do think that a lot of kids are labelled "bad at maths", and believe the label, because they missed important stuff (for whatever reason) early on and never caught up with their peers. Carrying that belief will radically alter a person's life choices.
