Back to graduate school
Can I teach the same way I want to parent? As a parent you raise your children however you want, they respond to your stimuli and you respond to theirs. If you raise them to be respectful and have no rules for them, they should still do what's right. My friends father performed an experiment with his children. He had one rule, no standing on teh kitchen table. His kids were good kids, but inevitably when he would leave the house, they all stood on the kitchen table. Rules are made to be broken. I don't believe in rules. But if you're teaching students who had authoritarian parents, can you really use your authoritative style, will it really work?
Do I really want to go back to grad school after I finish the MAT? I like the readings, but apparently my writing style sucks... can that improve? Or am I doomed by my math mind? PS. I failed my logic class freshman year in college... I have no logical skills (and I never went to class... perhaps the only flaw in my logic)
Duke sucks

Trying to get a rise out of me? Sorry, Duke is still my school. Two questions, though: What sort of graduate school were you considering after the MAT? What if teachers didn't have rules?
I was in fact trying to get a rise out of you... just a joke though. I haven't decided what I want after this, my most recent idea is to go back and get an early child hood degree. I feel like elementary school teachers are terrible at math so students don't get the basics they need when they're young; they learn to hate math at an early age since their teachers don't even like it. I think I want to open up a pre school.
I don't want to have the mindset right now that I am going to be a classroom teacher forever.
