When ‘Human’ meets ‘Math’ and ‘Science’

On the one hand, there is math, physics, chemistry and biology. Notorious and commonly hated subjects. On the other hand there is literature, language and arts. Easy and commonly appreciated areas of learning.  But such generalization already assumes that there is such as a thing common interest whereas in fact, modern educational theories are going the other way saying interest, ability and intelligence can vary significantly from one person to the other. The theory of multiple intelligence do not only suggest that students have very different ways of expressing their abilities, it also argues that they have different ways to learn.
