That's because you're a pussy.

I'm a teacher. My colleague is a former marine sergeant with a Computer Science degree. We'd soon make a ma(thematicia)n out of you.

My math teacher was an ex-narcotics cop. I was a bad student. I could do it, but I had a serious (albeit earned) attitude problem and no motivation or capacity to pay attention.

Currently, PhD in statistics and nearly a qualifed actuary (I've done all the maths bits of the qualification).

You are doing Spaghetti Monster's work.

how do you earn an attitude problem...?

You gotta fight every single fucking day, so you don't get beaten up, and your world view and how you let the world view you are going to change. I think the teachers in my school could have maybe done anything at all to prevent this.

I'm gladder still that I wasn't your student. You can't get creativity or love from bullying, only slavery.

P.S: I'm in a top CS Grad school, so no, thank you, for your offer of consdescension. I'm sure, you and your man-ly pals will have a happy time making more soldiers than mathematicians.
