Why does it seem like Catholic schools are practically the only ones properly and consistently preparing students for college-level math? Among my students who went to public school, I've got some who are really great at everything we're doing, but a lot of others who don't understand the basics of how numbers and arithmetic and algebra work, yet they someone kept getting promoted through all the high school math classes. The kids who went to Catholic school are less likely to have seen calculus before, but every single one of them can do long division and can add fractions and knows that (x + y)/x does not equal y.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Seska, thank for sharing that. I've posted the link in my facebook. Yay Shir!
