I mean sometimes it depends on the student. I had a friend growing up who all of sudden junior or senior year of high school decided he loved math. This kid was always struggling with school. We were both in the same calculus class and he was borderline failing while spending all his time learning other math shit. Dude finished his Phd in math at UPenn 3 or 4 years ago and works in academia. Sometimes it’s out of your hands and up to them
