"The function of the child is to live his own life - not the life that his anxious parents think he should live, not a life according to the purpose of the educator who thinks he knows best."

MATHEMATICS

18 July 2013, Thursday

2 months ago,
     LZ: Mummy, my year is what?
     Me: You are 9-year-old, and this year is 2013.
     LZ: Yeeee... want me to do maths only!

Today, a similar question was raised. 
     LZ: Mummy, what year were you born?
     Me: This year is 2013 and I'm 41.
     LZ: Again, want me to do maths... this mummy ah!

She then went into her room and came out after a short while and asked,
"Mummy, that means all my friends in my class are 2004, right?".
"That means all your friends in your class is?".

I kept quiet and ignored her question.  (I'm not answering that!)
She moved on to the whiteboard and did the subtraction.
