This man is my hero!

If you haven't heard Sir Ken Robinson speak, then you should listen. If you have, then I know you will listen again, b/c it's just THAT good!

I've seen a lot of TED talks, but all 3 of his videos are my favorite b/c I deal with education, and the things he says are very poignant, and relevant to today. Take a listen and let me know what you think.

Indeed. Education is the only thing that stops us from getting educated!

In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
