Ok, I see this as a total separate issue than the "innocence" of children. Having sex and learning math are two totally different things. Putting them in the same sentence seemed like a joke. Being raped could "take" someone's innocence but not learning math would just put them behind in math. That's how the concept goes.
By the way, I was unschooled and I didn't learn math. I had to take beginner math courses when I entered college. Now I'm better than math at most people, but still, it took extra work because I wasn't taught it in childhood. It's also easier to learn certain things as a child when your brain is still developing. For example, language is best taught in the beginning while still developing as it is much harder for a language to become a part of you when you're an adult.
