I use to tutor math in college. It has a lot of other factors.
Desire being one of thousands of other reasons.
Even language being a major barrier. Culture being another.

@DeWayfarer I'm highly motivated to learn at this point I'm using Khan Academy. I'm going to the local grocery soon to get a little red marker to work equations on paper and ding myself when I get it wrong and look for the patterns where I'm messing up frequently. I'm starting to take it seriously. The thing is that There's a prerequisite for this course I really want to take of like some precalculus skills and I need to finish building my Algebra 2 skills. Not to mention potentially going back and working simplifying skills from Algebra 1.
Going shopping for the little red marker, I've decided to make my new study habit something I take seriously. But, I found HALF of College math students fail or drop out of Algebra. I bombed my first exam in class, but the thing is my insight in this video means learning in the classroom is a terrible approach.

@PDXNative1986 Take those algebra II courses seriously. Heck even I started off on college algebra in college.

@DeWayfarer Dude you're nearly 70 you probably didn't face the same level of crowding I do in your courses, and we didn't have alternative ways to learn like KhanAcademy back in your day. classroom instruction is a terrible approach. if you try to learn in a classroom you're not taking it seriously enough.

@DeWayfarer I got a G.E.D from the state of Florida which got torn to shreds by yours truly. Like I tore the Florida G.E.D a new anus.

@PDXNative1986 This was literally me in highschool...

And I took six years of German in both junior high and high school with a family that spoke German.

@DeWayfarer meanwhile I was already a brain who knew a lot about a lot of different topics, not German though. I aced nearly every category and even my math scores were above average but not by the same margin as every other topic. And I know enough about history to qualify as at least the stage above amateur but not expert.
