After many years of teaching math, a key to shifting student mindsets dawned on me.
What’s the lore behind your pinned post?

Ever since I started teaching—1999!—and I saw my students using their calculators to do single-digit multiplication, I would think about this line from Braveheart w/r/t technology in education. Little has changed. https://t.co/DIxp9eU9VA

Glenn Stevens, Professor of Mathematics at @BU_Tweets and recent winner of the Award for Impact on the Teaching and Learning of Mathematics from @amermathsoc, uttered it during a lecture at @PROMYS_Teachers some 15-20 years ago. I just gave it a stock-photo background.

I'm afraid the future belongs to those who read widely, who can write without a machine's assistance, who haven’t allowed endless slop to kill their creativity & curiosity. Read books. Love learning. Keep your mind sharp or be left behind.

I often comment on how funny it is that being good at math, in the eyes of many, makes me "smart," when what they don't know is that math is the ONLY thing I'm "smart" at.
As smart as mathematicians can be, sometimes they can be really really stupid

Oh, you disagree with me? Well, unfortunately for you, I'm both an antibadthingist and a progoodthingist. So if you disagree with me, that means you're against the good things and for the bad things. Looks like I win again.

Me: The cosmos expanded, stars were born, continents shifted, lifeforms evolved, fire was tamed, cities rose, and humanity discovered the beauty of numbers, logic, and proof, culminating in this elegant moment of mathematics before you now My students: Is it on the test?
