Simon: So, you want me to rate my interest in school subjects?
Jackie: Yes, Simon, that’s correct. From one to ten.
Simon: Alright then. Let’s start with maths… Hmm, six! I don’t love it but I’m not terrible at it. OK, art, of course, a nine. I like bright colors and brushes, all these things. What else? History. That’s a seven for me. It is interesting, but sometimes it’s just about remembering facts. Geography is a four, I think it’s boring, sorry. Biology is an eight, learning how living things work is cool. PE is a ten for sure! Anything about sports or fitness, I love it! Chemistry is a three, difficult to understand and what for? Finally, physics…that’s a five. It’s very important to learn how things move in our world, but I’m not a big fan, you know…

I have two kids, a boy Jack and a girl Jane. They both go to school and they take different classes. My son takes classes like physics, chemistry, and biology. He also has physical education (PE) classes where he plays sports and exercises. Jack isn’t a big fan of subjects like art or history, but he still takes those classes too.
My daughter, on the other hand, likes art and history. She takes classes like geography, history, and art. She also takes math classes, but she enjoys them not as much as her brother does. She likes to read about different artists and listen to music. She even likes to write about what she learns in her classes and speak about it in front of her classmates.
They do homework every day. Sometimes they work together on group projects. It’s not always easy, but they try.
