Math On Call

Too Many Teachers Can't Do Math | Sept. 29, 2011

An article about the difficulties many teachers have with math and the lack of any real training available in teacher's college.

It is difficult to read this kind of thing, largely because there is a lot of truth to it. Not necessarily that teachers struggle with math, for the most part, the math in elementary is basic enough that most teachers grasp it. The problem is with the discovery curriculum, as mentioned in the article, and the fierce resistance from teacher's colleges to actually teach anyone how to teach.
