About This Quote

So, I asked her what she meant by this. She replied that she thought that the way science is presented to children in school was very dry and difficult to understand. Instead, she thought it would be better if the children were shown things like nature documentaries or how the Earth revolves around the sun instead of being shown all of mathematics. When I asked her why she thought that this would make a difference, she told me that it made her feel more connected to human beings because she could remove mathematics from science classes and still be educated properly.
