POD has a lovely post basically stating the same things I quoted earlier: the easy grading isn't Georgia's problem alone click here for Pissed Off Teacher.
I love mathematics. It defines things so well, follows understandable rules (sorry, English teachers, I don't think English always does.). How will today's students ever see that?
No, I must digress. The students in my school won't. They are treated like ill-behaved children, and are catered to in a way that cripples them. Other students in schools with higher standards and expectations, will not only see the beauty of math but excel.
I wish there were ways of reaching students in high and free them from the slavery they are being funneled into.

Thanks for the mention.
If you need any reference books, Posamentier's books are great!
I looked him up on Amazon - I have used 101+ Great Ideas for Introducing Key Concepts in Mathematics since I started teaching.
