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.

Charter Schools, Surprise!
In Spending Blind:
The Failure of Policy Planning in California Charter School Funding,
Gordon Lafer -- a University of Oregon prof who also works for
Oakland's The Public Interest -- finds "hundreds of millions of dollars
... spent each year without any meaningful strategy... on schools built
in neighborhoods that have no need for additional classroom space, and
which offer no improvement over the quality of education already
available in nearby public schools. In the worst cases, public
facilities funding has gone to schools that were found to have
discriminatory enrollment policies and others that have engaged in
unethical or corrupt practices."
