Chu Chien-cheng, an associate professor of mathematics at National Taiwan University, opines that problems are surfacing now probably because the teachers at more advanced levels, who in general have higher standards for math skills than those at lower levels, are finding students today aren't able to perform calculations as well as students in former years. Unable to accept the new reality, they are starting to object.
曾輔導資優生、學習障礙學生的台大數學系副教授朱建正認為，這個時候問題會浮出檯面，原因在於高年級老師的數學能力通常較強，他們發現學生的計算熟練度大不如前，不能接受，才會反彈。
