Conversation on Math

Beth has decided she wants to be meteorologist. This conversation happened after she told me.

Beth: I hate it when teachers call on you when you aren't raising your hand.

Mim: You should raise your hand more, so they'll stop calling on you.

Beth: They only do it when I don't know the answer or I'm not paying attention.

Mim: Well you should be paying attention in class.

Beth: But math is boring.

Mim: You'll need math to be a meteorologist.

Beth: But math is boring.

Mim: You still need to pay attention.

Beth: Math was more fun when you could eat it. I got to eat my math in kindergarten.
