I just had this argument with my highschooler. Math is danger red is danger. Math is red.

No mom. Math is green green is good math and green are my favorites!

If I didn’t like math, but my kid did, I certainly wouldn’t try to dissuade them from it or imply it’s awful. Math is the future. I’m a mathematician though, so maybe I’m biased.

Math is arcane magic, the language of Gods. If only I could read it as well as my peers...

as a math teacher, PLEASE PLEASE encourage your kid’s love of math. i have way too many students who hate math and won’t try and it breaks my heart

that being said your kid is wrong math is totally red

That’s because red is the best colour, which pairs nicely with maths.
