Why This Issue Was Delayed
Since
its inception in the late 1990’s, “Math Teaching Today” has tried to examine
issues underreported by more popular media:
sex differences in math testing data, charter schools, honesty in our
schools and among our student body, and the over-acceleration of our students
in their math studies, just to name a few.
The
research and background necessary to write accurate articles takes time, and
that time has been scarce in the last two years, as we have launched a non-profit
organization, Resources for Inner city CHildren, that has tried to bring some
of the same educational resources to inner-city students as are readily available
to our more affluent client base in NW Washington and the suburban counties.
Parents
and teachers are invited to contribute to Math Teaching Today. Any comments or suggestions are welcome!
