Math in our schools (Score 1)

As a math major, I'm especially interested in the treatment of the subject in our public schools. What I've noticed is, lots of kids are scared of math. My younger sister is very astute and a quick learner, and understands the application of some advanced mathematics. But if she runs into a fraction, she freezes up and everything is out the window. My point is: teachers need to spend more individual time with students who have trouble with math, especially during elementary school when the basic skills are formed.
