I'm pretty much convinced it comes down to bad teachers.
Some students have more of a natural apptitude for maths - but regardless it's the teacher's job to make the subject matter interesting and to help their students learn. Some "teachers" just plain don't do this.

I believe that all students can get at least a pasing grade in math unless of course, they have a low IQ. Inthis evemt, they would do poorly in all subjects, not just math.
There are several reasons why some students with good IQs do poorly in math.
1) If they don't understand something, they are afraid to ask for help, or simply do not want to take the time to get help.
2) The teacher may not be making the subject fun and interesting. Many teachers do not adequately understand their subject or are unable to communicate well. The NEA is a strong union that keeps such teachers in business, when they should be terminated.
3) Some students do not pay attention in class and can disrupt other students. There needs to be more discipline in the schools.
4) Some students are not properly supported by their parents. This support should include assuring that their child is studying an adequate number of hours each day, helping to explain problems, if they can, otherwise by getting a tutor,
and keeping in touch with their child's teacher to get necessary feedback. They can also determine if their child's teacher is substandard.
There are more reasons, but I believe that the above four reasons are the main reasons.
I have tutored math for years and believe I know what I'm talking about.

I guess it depends on what level of school you are talking about. In college most students generally hit their first challenge in calculus. For one I believe that alot of students take calculus unprepared from high school. Sure they took trig or algebra, but I think most of those just got by and never really "learned" any material. They jump into calculus and immediatly have to play catchup from things they should already know from high school.
Also I believe that teachers and textbooks have alot to do with it. In college you do most of your learning from textbooks, and if you have a bad one your not going to be able to draw much from it. If you have a teacher that doesn't explain the big picture of what you are doing, and doesn't go through things at the proper speed students get frusterated and end out giving up.
Lastly, I find it comes down to laziness. The way you get better at math is by doing ALL your homework. I see students all the time that do only a few problems in each chapter and end out not really "learning" any material. Sure they get some familiarity with it, but that's really not enough.

everyone has different talents, some are better at certain topics than others are. Teachers can't all be the blame, if you were to be a good student you dont need a teacher to tell you to do something and you would just do it. Its that simple. It could also be your background, social status and the people who help you. The people (usually the parents), are the biggest influence of all. if they help you, then they'll help you. If they dont help you, the student probably wont learn to force themself to do the math.

1. failure to understand relationships from how math works in life,
and is the language of the universe.
2. lack of motivational understanding, each difficulty and failure
is an opportunity to succeed...inner-faith.
3. not knowing various learning/teaching techniques and
computer tool.
4. lack of support or know-how from the home.
5. lack of good teachers.
6. lack of after-school help.
7. lack of Heroes...understanding what Einstien, Newton, and
others went through and how they changed the world.

you want to talk for your instructor and request help or tutoring. the challenge count number needs to be defined to you in words you may comprehend. once you get a undemanding understanding, issues will come to you extra extremely. yet see the instructor ASAP. practice pastime in correcting your present challenge, and also you'll be extra effective off in his eyes. Making no attempt to regulate issues received't do all of us any strong and also you may want to fall behind.
