...which bits of the curriculum they can cut out without it impacting their kids down the line. Kids who get the idea that they're bad at maths carry it with them - the idea that learning history somehow makes up for that seems like a confirmation of that lack of understanding.
You're not being aggressive. I'm being aggressive. There is no way for me to convey through text how disturbing I find it when someone anywhere near child education indicates they'd rather see a parent force an unhappy early education than let their child learn what they like.
Do you know why so many children and adults hate math? Nothing about it is inherently aversive, though it is tricky— in large part because it's taught as a utility kit rather than an area of study. Few people know any real math. It's force, leading to trauma, netting mathphobes.
Wouldn't disagree with you (and I loved maths)! I would add that a lot of people dislike math because they believe they are bad at it, and THAT comes (often) from falling behind at some point and not catching up.
I read that as the parent saying "I'm busy, leave me alone". Didn't see anything in it to suggest that the child had any particular aversion to maths, just that they won't do it unprompted, and the parents is "too busy" to do any prompting.
Children don't need much prompting to do what they want to do. I agree that this parent seems disengaged, which I consider an order of magnitude worse than a parent engaged productively and an order of magnitude better than a parent dedicated to enforcing rote schooling at home.
