I'm the founder of KnowPro, creator of the Hermione Granger math app, and writer of the blog. Thanks for your comments. I agree that my simple app will not help my daughter appreciate the beauty of math. I'm an engineer and I think I've nearly seen the beauty myself, but in the end I'm afraid that finals scared it away. I'd love to help my daughter attain what has alluded me all these years, but the rote mathematical drills of simple addition are not where she's going to find it. I can only hope that she spends more time practicing and masters these basic skills sooner. That was my intention with this simple app. Your comments are spot on with many parents. I think many defer their parental responsibilities to the PBS channel on TV or to teachers at school or in their religious organization. I, however, beam when I see how happy my daughter is playing the game, and I cannot wait until she comes home from school so we can play the game together (or more precisely, I can watch her while she plays). I think there's nothing more important than spending time with kids for their development. It sounds like you and your father had some special times that remain memorable to this date. I hope that every child and parent could share such an experience. Thanks for your comments. They made me think.
