...interact with and acquire and understanding of different culture from both the ideal and actual aspects of that culture. Education and learning are not accomplished in a vacuum.

...be scary. Students should feel free to ask questions and be wrong, or right, or close. Fear of being wrong keeps a student from realizing how close they are to "getting it". Teaching is collaboration. Rewarding and positive correction are the best ways to encourage students to keep trying even after a mistake is made. I also think that due to the nature of learning over time, focusing too long on one mistake, especially in...

...it, he just wasn't interested. He was interested in magic and loved performing magic tricks (David Copperfield was his hero). He was good, too. What he hadn't discovered yet, however, was how much magic there is in math and how math is everywhere. For example, he didn't realize how much math there is in music--both in rhythm and melody. He didn't know or care why the beat on eighth notes is twice as fast as...
