Teaching at a university you might be surprised how many students get pissy over basic math. Freshman use to shock me with comments like "I didn't sign up for a math course", "I don't think I signed up for calculus", and "I am just going to drop." Now it is almost common place. A couple each semester in 100 level courses.
I am talking basic math; addition, subtraction, multiplication, division. It is pathetic and most students that make comments like that do terrible in class. It may be really harsh to say but if you think basic math is something to cause you to drop a class... You should not be taking university classes.
