I disagree with this. Sure, kids don't like math. I myself didn't like math when I was a kid. Why? Well, because math takes work. Sometimes lots of work. I believe a solution to this has to do with how math is taught, as opposed to just abolishing the subject altogether. I don't hate math any longer - I can sometimes see the beauty in it, and I sure as hell know that it comes in handy, especially when working with computers. But even if it isn't taught properly - there is something to be said for doing math at an elementary level. Working on math problems tend to give you a certain kind of mental tenacity, that would come in handy later. The question, really, is how to make math seem fun/relevant - especially when it gets more abstract.
