=//A Mathematician’s Lament: How School Cheats Us Out of Our Most Fascinating and Imaginative Art Form //=

by Paul Lockhart
1. Read the book Part I is available online but you need to buy/borrow/acquire the book to get the rest. .pdf file from https://www.maa.org/external_archive/devlin/LockhartsLament.pdf

2. Reflect on the book and create a blog entry.
 * Reflection topic: If "school has been cheating us out of our most fascinating and imaginative art form for centuries," how will you stop the cheating? What are your worries about the cheating?
 * This blog entry should only be 250-300 words.
 * Address your blog entry to an audience that is vaguely familiar with the book but give them any background info they might need to really know what you are talking about.
 * Add a citation at the bottom of the blog to let your readers know the source you're talking about and so they can get a copy of the book for themselves if your entry intrigues them to want to read the book.
