I find that at school the children like the teachers and not the subjects. A short time ago I delivered a lecture to would-be students of an engineering college. There were about five hundred in all. I asked them who liked mathematics and got two hundred raised hands. Then I asked them who were particularly fond of their math teacher, and again I got 150 to 200 positive responses. But when I asked them how many liked mathematics but did not like their mathematics teacher, I got four hands out of 200 lovers of mathematics!
