Actually, my latest flame didn't mention math or math education at all. These "science" books are not only devoid of math, they are devoid of *numbers*. They deprive the student of any sense of dimension or scale, even relative. "My" 8th grader and his high school brother found it highly plausible, rather than hilarious, when a cinematic murderous snowman explained his makeup as "genetically altered water".
Is that related to Penta Water? Penta Water claims to be water imbued with a biologically more compatible molecular structure. It is sold in health food stores for 10 times the price of ordinary bottled H20. Fortunately, the state is not compelling people to buy or drink this product. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
