One of my mathematics professors in college wasn't very good at arithmetic at all, and he would frequently point out that math and arithmetic were not the same things.
"[Not being] very good" at arithmetic is a relative term. A person who fails to learn arithmetic and algebra is doomed to a life of wading in the mathematical shallows.
I suspect the problem is not with the student or with the subject in most cases, but with the teacher.
