>a lot of people good at math have poor people skills
All the more reason to open the floodgates so we can get the few people with both skillsets.

You can, however, achieve this by encouraging nerds to get people skills. Double benefit :
- they will have an easier life
- nerds will be less stigmatized, linked topics will so be more appealing and math more successful
I agree though that putting more kids in contact with math sooner will help a lot. A lot of kids like maths if it's shown to them with passion before they are exposed to the social stereotype or nerdiness.
