That's why it's a "pedagogical disaster."
- martinkallstrom 16y agoAny pedagogical institution flunking students for labeling and using constants when solving math problems should be burned down and the ground upon where it stood strewn with salt so that life never again will prevail there.
- techiferous 16y agoSpeaking of mathematical pedagogical disasters... I taught science and technology at a secondary school for a while and through the process I had to get certified to teach in the state of Virginia. Part of the certification process is passing the math praxis. If I remember correctly, all teachers in the state of Virginia must pass the math praxis I. I was surprised (actually dismayed) at the large number of my colleagues who thought it was challenging or had to take it more than once before passing. Here are some sample questions: http://www.studyguidezone.com/praxis_math.htm http://www.studyguidezone.com/praxis_math.htm My wife (who also got certified to teach in Virginia) just told me that many of her colleagues couldn't pass this simple math test and several had to take it multiple times before passing. She said that some teachers simply couldn't pass it so chose to teach in North Carolina for a while and then move back to Virginia (because after so many years the teaching certification from another state was automatic). tl;dr: The tech leaders of tomorrow will not be from America.
