C4T # 2 Comment for Teachers

This post is by David Wees. The topic is with Clay Christenson about the shortcoming of math. This article talks about how the cirricular activities are designed to make students feel like failure. Clay states in his article about how a teacher on the first day of his statistics math class tells his students to look around the room, then the professor says half of you will not make it through my class.

I agree with the concept of merging the skills together. If this is done more often students would be more interesting in learning math and can succeed in math. Some teachers have the attitude you either know math or you don't which can frighten students.

My second post is by David Wees also. There is a picture of two glasses and two soda cans one sprite the other one coke. The sodas are poured into each glass,then a man takes a syringe and takes about one ounce of soda from each glass and mixes with the opposite glass. The question is Does these glasses end up with the same amount of each type of soda?
I responded with the answer yes. The glasses were the same, the ounces taken from the glasses were the same also. This is why I answer yes.
