Do you think we should study things we don’t like?
So, what happened on your text, Ken?
I’m not good at math.
You could be. But you need to keep up with your homework.
I’ve tried. I just don’t get it.
I see. Well, let’s go over the test together.
Ms. Sakamoto, thank you but I don’t think that’ll help.
Why not?
To be honest, I’m not interested in math. It’s boring.
Ken, everything you’re learning now is important.
How? The only place I use math is school. I don’t need math in my life.
Math is useful for learning to think. That’s what you’re learning in high school.
But I won’t get a job that needs math.
Maybe. In any case, I’m afraid you’ll need to pass math to graduate.
It’s a waste of time to work hard on something I don’t like. It would be more useful to learn something I love.
Such as?
Well, games. Maybe I could design video games.
Ken.
What?
To design video games, you’ll need math.
Ah!
