I just found this comment from 'Wichita Boy,' who, I happen to know, is a Real Mathematician:

Peer pressure is probably the most effective technique one can apply to get kids to learn math. I had 5 or 6 kids in school who were good at math with whom I was in competition. At various points things came along which I didn't grasp immediately. When some of the other kids grasped the concepts before me I become highly motivated to learn them. Kids who lack smart peers are bound to do worse in math in general. -- Wichita Boy - 25 May 2005

I think he's right.
