My office is kind of a mix of both. A group of semi-open cubes for each team with a lot of common spaces where people go when they feel cooped up. I like it. I get a private space where I can have plants but I can also go grab a seat on a c

The Learning Style theory is junk with the flimsiest evidence, but tell that to any teaching institute in this arena so obsessed with constructivist ideals. The reason I did not continue on to teach physics was partially due to an insistenc

Part of me thinks it was my own disgust in the model that made the New Yorker article feel it was a negative take on the clickbait industry. That was an ironic feeling, given the context. The portions of the story where it discusses his fam

The medicine isn't supposed to improve your recovery time, it's supposed to lessen the ill effects of having the cold. Your comment doesn't make sense in that context at all. "It takes about 1 week to get over a cold if

I would say that it requires algebraic thoughts. You are assigning a placeholder for "x" as "that number that would fit in the middle here". To me, that seems algebraic. Especially at this very, very basic level of algeb

I was also a very poor math student in HS that went on to get a physics degree. I can say that it was the method of instruction as well as my own lack of motivation. Classes were boring and easy to pass even if you did not know the material

Standardized testing isn't a meant to teach skills. It is meant to assess skills. No one is proposing that more standardized testing will teach students how to do mathematics.

>What's holding back these places from getting ahead? There is no motivation for someone to teach in inner cities beyond a sense of civic duty. I live in a city with terrible (unaccredited) schools. Students in those schools are oft

I taught high school physics for a semester and the math abilities of these students (many considered top students) were abysmal. Somehow several of these students had received As and Bs in Algebra 2 but were unable to transform f = ma into

Trulia, where my 3BD/2BA home is listed as a 2BD/1BA valued at less than 1/2 it's appraised value. It's hard to trust a study that uses a data like this. Even though my situation is anecodotal, sites like Trulia and
