No one really likes high school math, or math in general. Most of the stuff you learn there is "useless" in daily life, unless you go into finance or something, but even then you have computers to use and hardly do any actual math yourself.
Math is usually accompanied by moans and whinning, even if you like the subject - which is probably very rare, unless one of your parents is a math teacher.
I'd hate to be a math teacher - the subject never changes. Science, Social Studies, even English to a point, are all dynamic classes. You're constantly learning new facts, especially if you're in an emerging field.
But math is always the same, year after year. There's nothing more we can discover about math, its all just number and formulas great thinkers of the past have created and tested.
Many could say that math is past its prime. Computers and other electronic devices are now making the process of remembering formulas a thing of the past. Just hit a button, input a few numbers, and press enter - it's done!
Anyway, some kids always like to make math a fun subject. I applaud their efforts, because without them, math would be the black hole from which no light ever leaves. So try your best to make math funny, else you'll be falling asleep for the entire class.
