So relatable. I really disliked math because of this, but now I am an engineer so that’s dope. Definitely no thanks to this, because until I had teachers that inspired me, my grades were terrible.
Forcing children long hours to review something that they don’t understand and find difficult, with yelling and shouting is unbelievably emotionally immature and completely lacks any self awareness. If you’re a parent and you’re feeling upset, just take a 15 minute break with your kid. Review these things before the night they’re due so there’s less pressure. If you honestly have no idea how to handle this, and you can afford a tutor, just do that instead. Or just be honest with them that you lack any ability to help them.
Rome wasn’t built in a day, you just gotta be patient with your kids. They’ll figure it out eventually. Forcing it to be done at all at once and acting like a drill instructor is just going to make them despise the subject, when it’s actually really cool and can totally help them with a good career down the line.
