When the teacher realizes there's a math skill deficit and teaches to that deficit, they help fix the behavior.

Update on the @hyatt incident: Your voices, in concert with NASP’s extensive direct advocacy, have resulted in progress! NASP President Celeste Malone and ED Kathleen Minke had a lengthy conversation with the GM of @HyattDenver and the SVP for Global EDI for @Hyatt corporate.

5. Teach bell to bell
