Have you, as a parent ever sat in the presence of a teacher and utter these words, “I was never good at maths, I guess that is why my dear Johnny cannot get this stuff in his head either.”

Have you then noticed the teacher go some shade of red in the face? Have you noticed too, that slight tightening of the jaw? Then a prolonged pause following, before the teacher answers…
