I have been very remiss about keeping up my blog (mainly for me), but you have not yet checked Mathbits from MCTM, I highly encourage you to do so (not just because there is an article from me about my last plug for spring conference). Why the picture? It represents some fundamental changes at our house. My daughter, as pictured, has been interning out in the Chicago area to develop her media production skills to get better at her trade.

I think most frequently, especially because of the pandemic, school students have developed this attitude, "What's the point? Why do we have to have math class?" I...
