Yes, they are going to psychotics no matter what field or endeavor. But I do feel there is a feeling that math is hard etc in this country. I've heard parents say "OH I was never any good in math either." this thought is filtered down to the kids. So they give up before they even get going. I think many parents would have no problem with paying money to have Johnny go to an expensive sports camp but wouldn't occur to them to hire a tutor to meet Johnny's math needs. It's just a different culture. Not that either is the best or to be emulated...
