“If I had to design a mechanism for the express purpose of destroying a child's natural curiosity and love of pattern-making, I couldn't possibly do as good a job as is currently being done-I simply wouldn't have the imagination to come up with the kind of senseless, soul-crushing ideas that constitute contemporary mathematics education.” IfsKindChildrenIdeasSoulDoneJobsPurposeImaginationNaturalDesignAnd LoveMathematicsCuriosityPatternsCome UpContemporaryCrushDestroyingMechanismBeing DoneNatural Curiosity Author:Paul Lockhart

“I look at it this way... For centuries now, man has done everything he can to destroy, defile, and interfere with nature: clear-cutting forests, strip-mining mountains, poisoning the atmosphere, over-fishing the oceans, polluting the rivers and lakes, destroying wetlands and aquifers... so when nature strikes back, and smacks him on the head and kicks him in the nuts, I enjoy that. I have absolutely no sympathy for human beings whatsoever. None. And no matter what kind of problem humans are facing, whether it's natural or man-made, I always hope it gets worse.” MenWayHumansLooksKindMadeMatterDoneProblemEnjoyNaturalHuman BeingsClearCuttingCenturyMountainOceanRiversNo Matter WhatStrikesForestsAtmosphereKicksLakesFishingDestroyingNutsInterferePoisoningMiningSmackNo SympathyStrike BackRivers And LakesWetlandsAquifersClear Cutting Author:George Carlin
