Dyscalculia


"Dyscalculia or math disability is a specific learning disability involving innate difficulty in learning or comprehending mathematics."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DyscalculiaThat is me in a nutshell when it comes to mathematics. I struggle so hard on that subject, although others struggle a lot more. It has been a topic of depression for me, and I'm sure for others as well. Before -- and even still -- students are thought to be stupid when they can't grasp math. It's an illness. How bad do you want the student to feel?
