Yes, but I was somewhat surprised to see it. I would add to this that it wasn't
always a tone of blame. When they did credit or blame, they might mention other
factors, including their own effort or lack thereof. But they all seemed to have
significant events around a teacher interaction or a test that epitomized their
experience one way or the other when they reflected back on their math lives. I
should mention too, this was hardly a scientific study. But I thought it apropos
to the thread.
