I knew some who were bad at math. Asian immigrant test scores on math are ~1/2-1 standard deviation higher than white Americans. That’s noticeable comparing groups of people but still leaves a lot of Asian immigrants who are not good at math.
There is no royal road. If all your kids are biologically yours and you and all your family are good at math and you marry someone from a similar family, you can stack the deck maybe 95/5 in favor or your kid being good at math? But that option is already off the table if you lack that talent. And there are other things you should probably prioritize first!
I don’t personally see how one person’s experience with children other than my own has any connection to my own children. That was the point I was attempting to make, though. Just because you have anecdotes to share doesn’t mean you’ve stumbled upon some universal truth. They can be helpful to share but NOT if used to dismiss other people’s experience.
