Did anyone else fail math in high school?

I absolutely tanked nearly every math class I had in high school. The concepts just didn’t click with me for some reason and I just gave up eventually.

Fast forward to me teaching myself to code at 23 and I learned algebra via JavaScript without even realizing it. Fast forward another decade and I’m a senior developer that’s learning nuclear physics in my free time, yet I still have no higher education or credentials to speak of.

I can’t help but wonder how many people the school system in the US is actively failing because it’s just not structured for neurodivergent brains. I thought I was stupid for so many years because I didn’t learn the way other people do, but really I was just lacking support and resources. More than that, adults failed to acknowledge I even had a problem and chalked it up to me being stupid as well.
