Re: U.S. Drops Out of Global Math Test
I read this article yesterday and have been thinking about it.
Isn't this what Dean Kamen's homework is about? Advocating the importance of science, technology - math - in the classroom by increasing that awareness, helping our educators and children. The last paragraph is saying that same thing - finding supporters/advocates to help.
The President's Circle formed this year, asking teams to submit videos promoting the start of teams, etc. Maybe there could be something similar for students/mentors who are interested in this area (the importance of math, etc.) and would like to focus on it.
