He taught high school math between 2004 and 2010, but became frustrated and is now studying at Stanford on a doctoral fellowship, with interests in curriculum design and teacher education.
I'm just glad that there's now a public debate about better ways to do math education.
- warfangle 15y agoI really wish I'd had a teacher like him back when I was in high school. I had an algebra 2 teacher call me an idiot in front of the class ... and when I went for after school help, he simply made fun of me the whole time. Ugh. Now I write lots of code. Yay!
