Britney taking Math Classes to help sons with their homework
Quote:
Sooner or later, most parents find themselves stumped by their child’s math homework. For Britney Spears, a hands-on mom to sons Sean Preston, 9, and Jayden James, 8, the moment has arrived.
“They go to a really hard school, and this week we had three hours of homework [a night],” the popstar tells PEOPLE in this week’s at-home cover story. “Some of it is hard for me. Next year when [Preston’s] in fifth grade, he’s going to be doing pre-algebra, and I’m taking classes so I know how to do it!”
As Mom brushes up on math, the kids have their own incentive to do well. “Homework is a priority, and we have a reward system that helps motivate them,” she says. “If they get so many A’s, they get one toy a month.”
Aw. This is really sweet. If more parents did this their kids would be better off.

Math at 10 in 2015 is a lot different than math at 10 in 1991. Britney wants to be able to adequately help her children when they come to her and thus she's brushing up on her own math skills so she can be a good parent and help them. There's nothing funny about this at all.
Frugal queen.
