Curmudgeon

I believe that mathematics should be taught, not collaboratively explored; algebra and geometry are better than a vague course of Integrated Math; spiraling doesn't work nearly as well as learning it properly the first time; "I don't DO math" should be an incentive rather than an excuse. "I don't DO English" should be treated the same way.

Correlations in education

Scott Macleod said on Twitter: From my doc student's dissertation: Student w/ 2 years of high school 1:1 said "I know way more #edtech than my college profs!" #true #sad

Does that say more about the profs, the education or the power of correlation?

About Me

Curmudgeon: I'm a high-school math teacher completely frustrated with new math, reform math, fuzzy math, the color of math, talking about math, literacy across the curriculum and all those other things that get in the way of students actually learning math, not to mention the ever-present "You need to help raise our scores by taking one day a week to go over test-taking skills" and other administrative folderol.
