My claims are as follows: - most math programs in the US schools are behind where children’s math abilities are - most school math programs do an abysmal job connecting math with real life - you can completely turn off a child to a subject/sport/activity by pushing it too hard -being numerate is a real long term advantage in life It’s balancing these things that’s hard, if your children are above “pace” math wise, see the value of math in their everyday life, and are on track to be numerate, yes don’t push, otherwise not pushing is the disservice
