I teach young kids math and I hate to imagine how this must play out. It honestly sucks to see when a kid comes in and has a mental block with math because of all the emotions that come from home. Their parent's attitudes when teaching them math has a huge effect on their self image and a lot of them come in thinking they aren't smart just because they weren't taught properly or given enough individual attention.
