      I can do arithmetic but am rubbish at maths.

      SG just because your chavvy school taught you to count doesn't disqualify you from being a pleb.

      HTH.

        The issue is calculators. No-one should be allowed to use one until 18.

        I tutored a 15 year old girl in maths once - bottom of class. She was top at 13. At 13 she had been bought a calculator. IMO there was a large correlation. The other being her horse riding obsession which her parents over indulged her in.

              True. But counting doesn't qualify as maths. And I went to school in a pre-chav (as we know them) world. And I have yet to meet a mathematical pleb. If they were one first, the maths cures them.

                "Teach em maths" doesn't have the same ring to it as "hug a hoodie" though.

                    Plus, it's very useful in daily life! Last week having dinner a friend of mine worked out that you got almost 25% more pie in a square pie than a round one at a restaurant
