Great read and a reminder. I grew up in the 'hood', went to a STEM high school, and the elitism was strong. When I was in college, a math professor told me that in 2 weeks I will drop the pre-calculus course, because I didn't take the prerequisites.

Not only did I prove him wrong, but after my first test, he sent students my way who needed a tutor. I was hired by the community college to work in their student tutoring program, not only in math, but in other courses as well.

I am a math teacher now. I use videos, show students numerous ways to get the answer, draw pictures, sing songs, whatever it takes for them to have every opportunity to engage and LEARN how to MATH. Are there students who flat out refuse to try? Yes. They typically come from families who have said time and time again that everyone in the family is lousy at math, and it is impossible for them to learn.

👊🏼👍🏼❤️thanks for sharing your story. Was to go. Kudos for choosing to prove them wrong. You have to do that with your actions.

Right on the math mentality. I did not like math until I was learning to teach math.

Keep being an inspiration!

Today is my first day back at work (and first full day back in my physical office) after a few weeks off for parental leave. Needless to say, I am struggling to stay focused on anything other than wanting to go back home to my spouse and child.

I know I shouldn't take an emotional temperature on day one, but it has been more difficult being back than I anticipated. Any tips for navigating the waters for the first day/week/month back?

My wife and I are considering relocating to a new city. I’ve been working with a recruiter who (I thought) gave me a good lay of the land. Which firms to meet with re lateral opportunities, which to avoid, etc. I’ve since spoken with a friend who has connections at other firms that could be a better fit. Do I bring in my recruiter or reach out through connections? Is using a recruiter beneficial to me, or am I better off on my own? How does their fee play in to what I could get as a package?

I’m teaching summer school at a high school, and the co-principals have asked me to focus on only 2 to 3 chapters worth (what they are calling “2-3 standards” in the eight days of summer semesters. However, they are also asking me to give kids the midterm and/or final at the end of each period, which covers 4-5 chapters each semester. My question is this: “Is it legal by California Ed code for the administration to ask me to teach less than each entire semester, yet test each whole semester?”

My district has finally gone 1-to-1. Is there a good app or website that I could use to have students submit answers anonymously while going over problems in class? I did this last week using Kahoot to go over a state testing review packet. It was great because I could see how many got the right answer and move on if no one missed the question. However, I would like to do it without having to create something in advance. I hope this doesn't sound confusing.

What’s your opinion on math homework? I teach 4th grade and have always given it but I’d like to see what others do and weigh out if it’s really worth it. If I give it, I feel like I should spend class time going over it but on the other hand I stress myself out trying to keep the absent work organized and those that don’t even do the work.
