A bad teacher in third grade taught me to hate math, and so I thought I hated it right up until my fifth year in college when a good teacher taught me to love it. At which point I changed my major (again, which is why it took me 7 years to graduate) and I graduated with a degree in mathematics and have spent the last 34 years working as a mathematician. But I still regret all those years when I thought I hated math, because both my high school and first college had exceptional math teachers whom I never had a chance to study with. Bad teachers can do incalculable damage to kids.
