"Some people are just bad at maths" is a myth: maths grows with practice like any other skill, and believing you can improve helps you keep trying.

Who acts: people, maths, you, believing · What happens: be, grow, believe, improve, help, keep · To what, where: maths, myth · Speech: someone speaks here

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R5-strong ×1, R6-punct-agree ×4, R7-rel-agree ×1. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
