This is one reason why a lot of other countries are starting to surpass the U.S. We say, "If you're not good at math there is something wrong with you. Here's more homework." They say, "Oh you're not good at math, but I see you're really good at science. Here are some science courses you may be interested in. Let's focus on that."
That's why Chris loves this idea of this school. I don't know where one is in Tennessee, but Chris will sniff it out like a bloodhound. As I hate math, I don't think I would be good at teaching it.
