Teacher Math Six Months

More From Andrew Shue

Through dialogue, the teacher-of-the-students and the students-of-the-teacher cease to exist and a new term emerges: teacher-student with students-teachers.

You’re not exempt from math if you’re a republican, and you’re not exempt from math if you’re a democrat. you’re not exempt from math if you’re a liberal, and you’re not exempt from math if you’re a conservative. you still have to do math.

I'm a strong believer that you have to have an equal opportunity to fail and to try things that are hard. i always tell my students, "don't just take things that are easy for you. if you're really good at math, don't take just math. take classes that make you write. if you're a really great writer, but bad at math, take math and make yourself work your way through it."

I noticed there were so many people, especially women, who would come up to me having recognized me from tv and say, 'i heard you were a math person, why math? oh my gosh, i could never do math!' i could just see their self-esteem crumbling; i thought that was silly, so i wanted to make math more friendly and accessible.

We need more concept-development and active involvement, less tuning forks, pulleys, and friction formulas - students know they'll never use those. they need more study of outer space and dna. they need more exciting teaching, more fair-minded encouragement, more career guidance, more mentorship. both students and teachers need more feedback. it would help if we stopped protecting bad teachers - it's very difficult to get rid of even sexual perverts let alone just bad teachers.

We economists don't know much, but we do know how to create a shortage. if you want to create a shortage of tomatoes, for example, just pass a law that retailers can't sell tomatoes for more than two cents per pound. instantly you'll have a tomato shortage. it's the same with oil or gas.

Our national security is at risk when we rely on foreign oil to keep our economy moving forward.

We tie ourselves in knots when we act as if democracy is good for the united states and israel but not for the arab world. for far too long, we've treated the arab world as just an oil field.

We've got the emphasis on the wrong syllable when it comes to crime in this country. the fbi says burglary and robbery cost u.s. taxpayers $3.8 billion annually. securities fraud alone costs four times that. and securities fraud is nothing to the cost of oil spills, price-fixing, and dangerous or defective products. fraud by health-care corporations alone costs us between $100 billion and $400 billion a year. no three-strikes-and-you're-out for these guys. remember the s&l scandal? $500 billion.

The usa is a threat to world peace. who are they to pretend that they are the policemen of the world, the ones that should decide for the people of iraq what should be done with their government and their leadership. all that [the usa] wants is iraqi oil. [blair is] simply the foreign minister of the united states. he is no longer prime minister of britain.
