For anyone who hasn't read it yet. Lockhart's Lament
Paul Lockhart is a mathematician. He is an artist. And yes, I am being redundant. He wrote this thesis some time ago, and it has gone viral. It is becoming an anthem for those of us who believe we have a duty to our children to raise them up to be vibrant, thinking, creative adults. He has sounded the rallying cry for all of us who want education to be more about discovery and inspiration and less about theorems and formulas.
Viva Lockhart!
