01The problem
A grade is a receipt for remembering.
A child can score ninety-two per cent and still not be able to explain what they did. They followed the steps. They recited the definition. Ask them why the method works and the room goes quiet.
Big classes hide that silence. Recorded courses cannot hear it at all. By the time anyone notices, it has turned into “I am just not a maths person” — which is almost never true.
