As a math educator I felt the need to protect my son from ‘school math’ tracking started. It’s been a gift for both of us.

You know there is a teacher shortage in Iowa when the school district where I taught has an opening for a high school social studies teacher and can't find a candidate to fill it. #teachershortage

Only in math class is this question pondered.
