My 10-year-old daughter was rolled in a ball crying yesterday, because of her maths homework. Maths class should not make people feel this way.

This is my sixth year as private mentor to a girl whose mathematical talent is so dazzlingly extraordinary that it still takes my breath away every time I visit her. Math class at school has long seemed to her utterly pointless and stupid. She gave up on it altogether, ages ago.

As a practical matter, this is the most sensible thing to do. One should just give up. Mathematics instruction should no longer be expected from the schools, just as music instruction is no longer expected from them. Sadly, if you want the job done right, you must do it yourself.
