Our focus has been to put our best math teachers with the lowest performing students. IT's the only way to do it. The students are certainly smart enough, but have almost no experience with math beyond worksheets. To be with a mathematician or a retired chemist or engineer, and receive tutoring in basic algebra . . . well, we have seen students make moves.

Mathematics is an abstraction that is taught as a foreign language. System dynamics is one of the few tools that makes real how mathematics might also describe real relationships in the world. Our students need MUCH MORE OF SYSTEMS APPROACH in VERY EARLY grades to make a difference.
