When you are trying to learn anything and have a presence around you that is threatening and can trigger your amygdala to get too active, then it interfers with the frontal lobe's ability to concentrate which is needed in learning. So if you have a teacher that has a horrible attitude that upsets your amygdala, then you go home and face more confrontation by being hit etc., that will leave someone with an over active amygdala everytime they try to learn that specific area be it math, reading, writing, whatever. Without realizing it you are actually using math constantly so it's not like you can't really learn it.

Also, NOW we know that some individuals need to learn differently depending on how their brain is wired. Doesn't mean the person is stupid, some actually may even have a genuis IQ.
Yeah that makes sense. And in terms of getting worked up when there's a threatening presence, I'm like that when I'm trying to do anything and someone is rushing me and getting angry. They don't understand or realize that by doing that, they are actually slowing me down due to me getting very nervous and not able to concentrate.
