Reply #3: and you know, part of that is because of the way they teach it

[ixion]

I had a penchant for math all through K-12, though it seemed like the math teachers I had did everything they could to discourage mathematical curiosity. I had a great Geometry teacher, as a result I became fascinated with geometric proofs, which is one of the things that led to my interest in coding. I think, though, that given the importance of math (that is, everything boils down to math), that it's taught from a pragmatic rather than conceptual-contextual (e.g. useful) point of view.

That may or may not be why you got a 'B', but I just thought I'd toss in my two cents. ;-)
