It's true.

The sad thing is these problems start well before university when high schools pressure students into "advanced" math coursework without demonstrating mastery of previous topics. It builds a shaky foundation and sets the student up for a lot of needless difficulty later on.

Much better to slow down, focus on fundamentals early on and then build breadth in university coursework.
