Teaching Math is demanding

I have noticed that some of the important issues are ignored in math education. It is high time that we consider math as a human right as early as Grade 0 or Year 0 in the formal schooling education.

You find that a lady in elementary education/primary has very little mathematical thinking herself and she is taken to teaching math at lower classes as if it is an unimportant, easy math. This is wrong impression as if the child is not exposed to good and correct number/numeracy understand at relevant point in time, the chances of being successful in math are so slim.

I therefore believe that specialist math educators/teachers should be a way to go at all levels of math education to be successful in future.
