• You want to know what I make? I make kids wonder, I make them question. I make them criticize.  I make them apologize and mean it. I make them write, write, write. And then I make them read. I make them spell "definitely beautiful, definitely beautiful, definitely beautiful" over and over and over again until they will never misspell either one of those words again.  I make them show all their work in math. And hide it on their final drafts in English. I make them understand that if you got this (brains) then you follow this (heart) and if someone ever tries to judge you by what you make, you give them this (the finger). ​ Let me break it down for you, so you know what I say is true: I make a goddamn difference! What about you? Make a Difference

    The Smartest Kids in the World: And How They Got That Way

    "Teenagers who mastered higher-level math classes were far more likely to graduate from college..." (pg.70)

    Learning language of logic — Math

    "Math is a language of logic. It is a disciplined, organized way of thinking. There is a right answer; there are rules that must be followed. More than any other subject, math is rigor distilled. Mastering the language of logic helps to embed higher-order habits in kids' minds: the ability to reason, for example, to detect patterns and to make informed guesses. Those kinds of skills had rising value in a world in which information was cheap and messy."
