So many hoops to jump through and you are only 9 years old already you ask me," was I any good at maths", and I tell you that I found it hard to connect what was being taught at school to everyday life, and this you agreed with, and you are only 9 years old. And you have years of being taught what you consider as being completely irrelevant to your world, so many hoops to jump through, and your only 9 years old, unless your teachers have the imagination to apply what is taught in the classroom to the world outside the classroom , but I advise you not to hold your breath, you are only 9 years old, only 9 years old.
