The funny thing is that my mother really threatened to burn my favorite doll when I was in elementary school just to study 😂 I still remember her clearly 😂
Kids find the dumbest things amusing- like rushing through the problem or not trying… until you make them care and they suddenly can put that brain to good use 😂😂
My mom would make me do things twice ....if I did the math wrong, then thrice. Sometimes, I practiced so much that I almost memorised all the questions and answers. And then people ask, "how are asians good at math?"
And then they go to university and fail miserable at math and statistics, because remembering things is not enough. They were never trained think about the algorithms.
I still remember being forced to memorize the multiplication table when I was in 1st grade. although I cried every time I was forced to recite it in front of my parents, I was so damn proud of myself when I went to 3rd grade and realized the vast majority of the kids there didn't know what 3x2 was.
I once asked a group of students (aged 11-14) "What is one divided by 3?" Most of them couldn't get it right even though the answer is in the question!! 1/3. No surprises there.. many adults are NM smarter
@@alessandrac1940 That's pretty sad. I presume most people in here are Americans. But the Canadian education system, where I live, also seems to have been dumbed down a fair bit in the last forty or so years. 😢
lmao this is so funny im korean and i would go to school and my teachers would try the nice counting on fingers approach and i would go back home to the “if u dont answer correctly ur fav toy is on the line” approach 😂
As a retired math teacher, this rings somewhat true for me. Sadly, I had one student who was intensely addled when it came to numbers. As a survival strategy he would just make up answers. Imagine 5 being listed for the last 8 questions on a worksheet! Eight plus seven = 5, 7 X 3 = 5, etc. Poor little guy. Math actually terrified him! Eventually we moved him to a learning assistance class. Things finally went better for him. Strangely, I remember a joke. We used to tell our math classes that just remember that x always equals 5.
I struggled with math as a kid and I remember the objects = numbers concept always confused me. Like okay if I have four apples and if you give me two I have six but what are two and four by themselves? It always felt like a totally different question, I mean at least when I was starting out.
This made me want to cry okay nevermind it didn't make me want to cry it it it did make me cry because I have terrible math trauma. When I was in elementary school there were too many students not enough teachers that was in a really rural town where there was you know just a lot of people but the school was literally pre-k through graduating so people went there their whole entire education at the same school. Anyways to my point. Due to being limited on the teachers they had to put certain classes mixed with other classes to be able to have enough teachers to educate however the issue within that lied in the fact that they ended up mixing together like first graders with like 5th and 6th graders and so as somebody that was in second grade I believed at the time I could very well be wrong on that but I feel like it was second grade maybe we were mixed in with like a 5th or 6th grade class and very clearly you cannot hold back the older students buy reteaching them what they've already learned and so what ended up taking place was the younger students ended up having to try and play catch-up and so going from 0 to 100within a math class to that extent was extremely drastic and I was never able to get a grasp on the most bare minimum of math before I was being asked to do more advanced math and so not knowing the basics I struggled and then my parents my dad and stepmom their solution to making me learn math because I was the only one in my household who didn't know math their solution was to starve me from having dinner if I could not complete the 100 printed off pages each with 100 math equations a piece by dinnertime which would be approximately an hour or two after getting home from school. They would also scream at me and hit me and send me to bed early they would have me so distraught that I would be vomiting and if they did allow me to eat then one of two things would happen it would either be that they would force me to eat something that they knew that I did not like and would not eat and so that would cause me to end up vomiting or I would end up with food out of the trash can that was wasted from my siblings and my stepmom like to Port ammonia in the trash can to keep the smell down so I took this day have serious trauma because of math and it gives me the worst anxiety however with that being said I had dropped out of high school because of my learning disabilities and having issues as well as issues at home but while I was pregnant with my daughter I ended up graduating from high school after putting myself back into high school and paying $3,000 to be able to actually graduate instead of getting a GED and then I went off to college and somehow I was able to pull myself together to complete some college math courses and I graduated high school and then completed like four or five college math courses with a 4.0 or higher and I don't know how the fuck I pulled that off I know a lot of tears but parents need to be really self aware of how detrimental it can be to a child to shame them and abuse them over struggling to pick up on something especially when you know that they didn't even have a fair start to learning it.
@@ananolastname1605 Oh my gosh! I am so sorry you had to go through all that petrifying and insane trauma by yourself. I really hope you have healed and I pray God will be with you in what ever you do🙏🏽🙏🏽.
Probably Dyslexic. My daughter had the same issue. The moment her brain locked up when there was too much stress to get things right or perfect she would just spit out random answers. She knew the math but her brain did a survival freeze every time.
My mom didn't help me with any schoolwork, she just kept shaking her head and complaining that I was too slow. Props to all the patient parents out there
Omg, that is so sad. My mom took on my 9th grade math teacher. Set her straight. I had to take on a teacher for my son at one time too. I feel terrible for any children who have parents who side with the teachers or don’t support their kids. ♥️
The fact that mini Jeenie knew one million was a bomb dead giveaway was soo adorable and funny. And she knew that 7 was the correct and right answer the whole time ❤️🍬🍬
I am an Indian, and the Korean mom in this video is still very polite. 😅 In my childhood, I used to get kicks, wiper, broom, and slaps from my mom if I made mistakes while studying. 😂😂
@@anadd6195 It's sad but this is normal to do in any asian household and no one consider this as abuse ..... this is done so childrens don't get spoiled
I’m not asian, but my mexican dad would ask me multiplication questions out of the blue, and if I didn’t know, he would make me write the multiplication table over and over and over and over *and over and over and over **_And over and over and ov-_*
Well, reponsible parent made sure their kids uses their head. I use to hated my dad, but after i have to raised my younger sibling, i know how painful it was to teach children basic math, science and help them with homework. That was *draining*
Kids these days are lucky. I grew up in a different time. Getting a math question wrong would mean getting smacked in the face hard, having something thrown into the garbage, no dinner, combined with lots of screaming/insults and objects being thrown around. My mother’s favorite phrase was that I’d end up homeless or deserve to die. Most of my asian friends also went through the same thing. CPS back then often did not care about the kids of immigrants. At least some asians won’t continue this generational trauma and won’t do the same thing to their future kids…
What you suffered was plain abuse. I am sorry your parents were horrendous and hit you, withheld food, screamed at you and verbally abused you too. Fear doesn't make a young mind understand a subject more, but creates anxiety in them and getting it wrong brings fear of more reprisals and threats. I never understand how a parent can think treating a child like this will help them and foster a desire to learn. It creates barriers with the parents and instead a dread of getting it wrong thus asking for help is less likely from a child. Guiding, explaining, stressing that doing the best they can to achieve the grade they are capable of and it will benefit them for their future. Of course kids need to learn that slacking isn't right and there's consequences, but physical and emotional abuse should never be it. Stress and anxiety infacts impacts the development of young brains and actually impairs and decreases the area of the brain responsible for learning, memory and executive function. CPS were prejudice decades ago and ignored the kids who needed more help. I was bad at maths, my sister did well in all subjects, but I struggled a lot and mybrain can't compute numbers and science, but I did well in English, history etc. My parents helped me and just asked I tried my best and I was the times tables champion 😂
I have similar experiences growing up. Matured quickly and even hid my marked legs with long pants so CPS wouldn't take my mom away. So traumatized I'm afraid to become my mother-easier to just not have a kid 😅
Lmoa I remember when my mom was teaching me addition of decimals a couple years back and she formed a difficult question (at that time) 'If you go to your dads shop and buy...' and at the end I told her everything would be free cause its dads shop and her expression was priceless
I was good at math but struggled with basic science. I could not for the life of me understand the water cycle. My mom did everything she could to make me understand but it didn't fully work. Somehow, someway, Bill Nye did it 😂
LOL Jeenie this reminds me of how my mom used to teach me math when i was younger, the method with candy and if it did not work she would try to take away something valuable to me like my toys! 😂
Both my boys had problems with multiplication. Both got it immediately when I got them to understand that multiplication was just addition. I still wouldn’t have given them the candy!
I learnt my multiplication tables by heart while ironing my school shirts. My Indian mother didn't have to push me. She just made sure that we know the value of education early
This made me remember my childhood trauma I forgot even existed. My mom would throw my toys out the window every time I got my answer wrong. We live in a condo so once she throws the toy it's gone
This is what my son does. He will give me the wrong answer on purpose and I give him a look and he keeps saying it with a cheeky smile and a laugh. Then I say you know what it is, I get up and say “no candy” and he goes no 7! Lol😂
My mum is also a Korean and she would sit me in front of the fridge where there would be a magnetic sheet of the time table on it and I had to learn it or else my mum would ground me, not feed me, and get a bamboo stick and sit right next to me and each time I got it wrong, she would hit me on my hand. But I guess it worked cause now I have the highest grade out of everyone.
I still remember how my aunt sitting next to me with a diy whip ( a small tree branch) trying to get me to memorize the multiplications tables. She’d whip my palms each time I got one wrong 😂. I learnt real fast
Another thing that often works good is if a child does not see the importance of being able to multiply, break down 4x5 to 5+5+5+5 because at one point, the child will prefer multiplying two numbers instead of adding a huge amount of numbers. Explain to your child why it needs to memorize the simple one digit multiplication table by providing real life tasks telling your child that memorizing it is faster. And don't forget to include 0 and 1 as numbers as most children later in life lack the ability to imagine multiplication by 0 or 1 and this will become a huge problem. Also set small goals: Like first start with doubling (multiplication table for 2) then trippling (3) and then go till 9 and eventually introduce 1 and 0 as the most easiest of all.
@@BeckyMesser Yeah, I had a lot of physical and emotional abuse as a kid and I don’t know if this counts. But then, I’m not good at telling because it was my normal, so I’ll just leave it for other people to decide lol. I wouldn’t do it that way if I had a kid though lol. I would definitely be the first mom.
@@BeckyMesser You're right. There is "real" emotional abuse. And there are cases where parents make the extra effort and are firm with their children for their own benefit so you give them the best chances for success and happiness in the long term. Because it's so much easier to do the opposite, let them do whatever, and focus on yourself and what you want instead. Sad that in 2023 some people can't tell the difference.
I had a hard time learning addition in 2nd grade and i even had like more than 10 pages crossed off red But my mom taught me and no doubt shes the best teacher❤
No, that teaches you to become extrenwly stressed and unregulated regarding difficulties. That is harmful for children. If you choose to have a child than learn to be a good parent, study and do your job right.
To be fair, research shows that children learn math best when it’s tangible lol. So if I hold 7 of your favorite dollies over molten lava and 4 come back unscathed, how many fell into the hell fire to have the plastic melt off their tiny frames, never to be played with again?? 🔥🔥🔥
