People often say, “Children cant do math problem, its because parents cant do their childrens homework.” Heres an example to show what I mean.

“Its quite easy,” I said. “You put the 202 over the 179.”

“But we need a 10 here. Where is the 10?”

“I dont know where the 10 is. Lets just subtract 179 from 202. Nine from two is three. You carry one and add it to seven. Eight from zero is two. The answer is 23.”

“We cant do it that way. We have to use the 10.”

“Well, Im going to call your teacher to see how she subtracts 179 from 202.”
