Barbara,

I absolutely agree that good math teachers are much rarer than good English teachers. And I think your insight into why that is the case has merit as well.

I would never argue that everyone has the same native abilities in all areas. My only point is that teaching involves two people and we shouldn't automatically blame the failure of the process on some characteristic of just one of those two people.

Point well taken. I for one realized later in life that my lack of ability with math probably had much more to do with the math teachers I got than my innate or not so innate ability.
