“I never want to hear anyone say to my daughters ‘I’m not a math person’ or ‘my brain doesn’t think that way,’ because I believe these messages can reinforce the idea that you have to be born to be a math and science person. And that’s just not true.”https://m-gat.es/2jGMlhK

The pedagogical and mathematical incompetence of teachers leads to disastrous learning outcomes, which policy-makers then try to fix by "teacher-proofing the curriculum." But micromanaging classroom practice only further demoralizes the teacher corps, leading to high turnover.

Of course teaching mathematics is very subtle and demanding work, even for those who understand the subject minutely; learning the art of pedagogy is as hard as learning the art of mathematics. No: harder, because there are so few examples of first-rate practice to imitate.
