Was it a good school in a wealthy area? If not, what makes you confident that your peers were falling behind due to some sort of innate inability, instead of as a result of compounding poor teaching or other environmental factors? |

Unless you can mass edit all the factors, then it remains that some people simply cannot do math past a certain level.
But for what it’s worth, it was a very small school in a VERY poor area. (Median income probably at or below $20k / year) The teaching was actually above-average for the area, but probably below average over a national rating.
I do think factors matter in my personal anecdote of my particular high school. However my LIFE has reinforced my observations: most people are profoundly bad at math, from a seemingly fundamental level.
