Seems like a bad outcome

All I'm saying is that if someone was like "I will teach you what cos, sin and tan are but you will have reoccurring nightmares about exams and classes every week for the rest of your life" I would say "no thanks"

If you can read and comprehend then you have the potential to learn pretty much everything.

However thanks to the education system the employers insist that people have certain grades so the two are linked perhaps
