| "Whatever
Happened To That Happy Child Who Couldn't
Wait To Go To School?"
Now every day is a
battle. Headaches,
sickness, tantrums, tears . . . there just has to be a reason. .. 
“I despised math of any kind. To me it was like trying to learn another language...all of it. I still
hate it! Anything involving math makes my head hurt.”
“I hated math. It was horrible. And the teachers . . .
couldn't explain it very well because they didn't understand why we
don't understand!”
“I thought it was the most boring
and confusing subject . . . That would be my idea of hell having to
sit through math classes!
The comments above were taken from recent posts on MyLot.com in
response to the question, “Ever had a most
hated subject when you were in school?” They were representative of 70% of the responses.
"Math
- The One Subject Most Likely To Cause Your Child To
Fail - Don't Let It!"
"The teacher pretended that algebra
was a perfectly natural affair, to be taken for granted, whereas I didn't
even know what numbers were. Mathematics classes became sheer terror and
torture to me. I was so intimidated by my incomprehension that I did not dare
to ask any questions."
Psychologist
Carl Jung echoes the feelings of millions of us.
Sadly, long before they reach the age of seven
many children have ‘switched-off’ to math. Eventually most children become
parents. One day
they hear the dreaded words . . .
"Will
Someone Please
Help Me With My Math Homework?”
Frustration, anger, misery,
humiliation and despair . . . math has the power to evoke all these
emotions. Math
is the one subject that can seriously damage your child's academic health. Unfortunately it's also one of those subjects that your child will probably
need if he/she is to achieve their full potential in life. "It is absolutely vital your child gets the right start at the earliest
age possible."
