Balls: Scott Walker has 'em

[a completely inoffensive name]

So to sum up once in a single question the problem difficulty exceeds that of primary school, you've lost them? (Once you've broken down the problem to its component problems you get to something a primary school kid can work out.)

Only the stupid and the lazy. But from my experiences in high school, that seems to be a good portion of the students. Like I said before, the school system isn't completely bad. But word problems like the one I just made up are really complained about as if they are the most terrible thing ever. Much less so in the final years of high school though.
