Programs that seek to better explain math will not last, I agree.
What is needed is to change the kids' MINDSET about math. How do we make them WANT it? They've already decided it's boring and difficult.
- chii 12y agothey didn't 'decide' it was boring, it was taught without any context, and the average kid did not have the imagination to be able to know how useful math is going to be. Basically, instead of teaching, i think the school ciriculunm should try to pique the interest of the students, and make them intrinsically motivated to find out more. How to do this depends on how good their teachers are, and atm, not many teachers can do this even if they want to, because they are required to teach a certain amount of 'standard' stuff, and leaves not much room for the teacher's own brand/style.
