I would argue that most people are not bad at math - they simply struggle to understand math on the same time frame as the test schedule. This may be due to inattention by the student, failure to actively engage in the class and the homework, failure of the teacher to explain the material adequately or an underlying learning disability.

The good news is, much of this can be addressed - learning disabilities can be diagnosed by a competent psychiatrist, students can learn better study and learning skills, teachers can re-explain material in a different way, a tutor can be hired, etc. The important part is to recognize that struggling to learn math doesn't mean a student is stupid or "bad at math" - it means he/she is struggling and should seek additional help.
