Each of us has a life mission. We are led on this mission usually not fully understanding what it is. And how are we led? I believe we are led by our interests and our good desires. Things that really bring us joy (not just fleeting happiness) are in line with our life mission. But how does this fit in with the "You Not Them" principle?
Concerning education; as YOU learn what YOU need to know for YOUR mission in life, your children will do the same. However, if you try to learn or teach them what THEY need to know for THEIR mission in life, THEY will resist. Pretty simple.
Remember that just because you enjoy mathematics does not necessarily mean your children will, but if you study it because you get joy from it, they will study what they get joy from, thus leading them on their life mission. It may be that Bobby doesn't need near as much math as Susan to fulfill his life mission.
If your children learn what true joy is and they love learning, (because they see that you love learning) they will see their own education gaps and they will set out to learn everything they need to know.
