Mathy Techy Educator: I ❤ math! I want to share the beauty and eloquence of mathematics with my students by making connections between symbolic and visual form.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. understood that racial justice was not attainable without economic justice—and that fight was about equity, dignity, and a brighter future for all of our children.

I have used this quote for a while now. Just updating the image. Alienation is the unchecked precursor of math anxiety. Alienation is the real problem. Not belonging is the problem. Having no identity/connection is the problem. Quietly checking out is the problem.
@loumatthewslive @profnicolej I wonder how they feel about questions in general and specifically in mathematics. Why isn't the question the title? I also hope they are open to understanding how this looks and making a change.

SOMEONE: “i hate political correctness!”
POLITICAL CORRECTNESS: “i actually prefer to be called ‘compassion’”
SOMEONE: “but that makes it harder for me to say that i hate it”
COMPASSION: “i understand”
“I’ve lived here all my life. I pay taxes just like an American does. I work just like an American does.”
Today marks two years since Trump repealed DACA, threatening 800,000 Dreamers like Estefania and their families.
The Trump administration's cruelty is destroying lives.
