mal, I hated math all throughout high school. During high school, I would never have been able to tell you WHY I hated it so much, but now that I look back...I would have to say that I hated math due to the challenge it presented me. In high school, I was like Catmandu's daughter- Very good grades, advanced student, etc. However, math was a true challenge, and I actually had to DO my homework (which is tedious, as you know); whereas, with my other classes, I just had to basically sit on my duff and get a good grade.
Like mal said, though, you should talk to your daughter. Communication is the key to understanding any situation.
