Synopsis

Tell the administration what they want to hear, then do what is best for your students.

That's Barry Garelick's philosophy in a nutshell.

As the Mark Twain of education writing, this collection of essays chronicles Garelick s experiences at two schools, teaching math.

Garelick gives the reader a glimpse into the daily routines of math taught in a verité style and exposes a lot of the edu-talk that teachers hear they are supposed to do, and feel guilty about when they teach in the way they see fit.
