My Kids Hate Math
I cannot force my children to love math, but I always tell them that everyday they use math without being aware of it, such as for managing their time, calculating their money, memorizing phone numbers, estimating weight, and so on. However, I inform them, too, that careers in the future are all not math-intensive, such as career in psychology, music, law, politics, etc. That doesn’t mean that there is no math at all in those fields; therefore, I told my kids that they have to master at least basic math for practice in the real world.

About Me
I’m just an ordinary person: a housewife, a mother of three, a government official, and a student, too. My hobbies are singing, reading, cooking, and traveling. I don’t like sports; it’s tiring and time consuming for me. I sometimes draw sketches, and my husband thinks that I’m talented. My favorite drawings are ordinary people and urban scenes. By the way, I teach art course for the children at my housing area on Sundays. It’s a free one, wanna join it?

I have similar problem with yours. When my children asked for schools that do not teach math, I explain them that math is important in our life, that’s why they have to learn it.
