I am an Asian and I suck at math. There, I said it. I'm the only Asian I know who did better on the verbal section of the SATs. (Any other Asians out there on this boat?) Even my basic arithmetic has gotten so bad — blame it on the calculators on my computer desktop, cell phone, bedside table, etc — that J does not trust me to teach simple math to our children. So maybe some of my more mathematically-inclined readers can chime in here...
