Stephen Wilson, who has close ties with Where's The Math and Mathematically Correct, organizations who have a highly biased and ignorant viewpoint on the mathematics needed in the 21st century to do the review of the top four programs from OSPI's initial review? To whine about bias is naive and manipulative.<BR/><BR/>What ended up as the three recommended programs were those that started out as the three of the four recommended programs after the initial review by OSPI. Dan is equally uninformed about that.<BR/><BR/>Shouldn't there be a little more trust in the local review process. If any of these programs are so onerous, won't that come to light. Why is Dan feeling so threatened?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4983334520933101277.post-88973673048139195512008-12-09T23:54:00.000-08:002008-12-09T23:54:00.000-08:00Integrity is telling yourself the truth; honesty i...Integrity is telling yourself the truth; honesty is telling other people the truth. - Spencer Johnson<BR/><BR/>What do you call a dishonest scumbag lacking integrity?<BR/>A textbook writer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4983334520933101277.post-76289975425304369322008-12-09T23:43:00.000-08:002008-12-09T23:43:00.000-08:00Excellent reporting of the news and keeping us inf...Excellent reporting of the news and keeping us informed. It makes no sense to adopt Bridges unless Bright and King have a stake in this curriculum and its use is most certainly tied to their NSF grant. They should have to publicly disclose this during a board meeting. That would be ethical.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
