more from the math teacher

from this blog entry    http://blog.mrmeyer.com/?p=6581

...it's incumbent on human beings to live lives of fascination and to share that fascination with others.

I used to indulge that impulse to share my fascinations pretty frequently-- origami, rubber stamps, photography, etc.  But since the obsession with bell-to-bell instruction and so-called accountability, and fear of seeming not to be teaching my students, I have stopped a lot of that kind of sharing. 

One thing I like about what Mr Meyer writes is that it is so much what my heart and gut tell me, and what we do not hear from any official channels.

There's a lot more I should elaborate on if I want you to understand my thoughts on this topic, but it's Saturday morning and I want to go do something else now.
