Biographie de James A. Tavegia

As a former math teacher in High School, Middle School, and then elementary school, I tried to make Math as much fun as I could, as it is as much a core subject as reading and writing properly. When high school students can't make change from a $5 bill for a $4.72 purchase; or read on grade level; or even write complete sentences, we must discuss what can be changed. Why can students talk for hours on end, but asking them to write 2 pages something to be dismissed as asking too much. If better behavior and a lack of seriousness cannot be brought back  into the classroom, then I fear our children will not be prepared to enter the work force and secure the job they THINK  they deserve.
