> Mathematical ideas, even simple ideas, are often hard to transplant from mind to mind. this is a problematic way to frame the issue which I agree is very difficult. by framing it like this, I think, it sets up this task to be impossible. I'm also considering a subtle distinction between 'teaching' and 'education' he's using a teaching framework. to put the idea in the head of the student. but education is more about guiding the student to find the answer on their own; if teaching is difficult, education may seem freaking impossible. with a 'teaching framework' simple ideas are more difficult (and complex ones turn impossible) but with the 'education framework' (which in my direct experience is not available publicly) simple ideas may be trickier, but the hope is that sophisticated ideas will become easier to communicate.... dunno
