Perhaps these students have a negative attitude because they believe that the knowledge is unnecessary, and have been taught by previous teachers that they are "bad at math."

(My own opinion is that any truly great student can succeed with any teacher, and any truly great teacher can succeed with any group of students. The problem is that both of these occurrences are quite rare.)
