on education, pedagogy, and the mathematical need for babes

For one reason or another, there's been a flurry of articles trying to explain why American kids suck at math. A day or two ago we got some gibberish about taking math tests in a room full of babes in bikinis. Here's another couple angles on the matter:

1.) A child's belief in their own intelligence, and how that influences their intellectual development.

2.) ...and why we need babes in bikinis to take away the anxiety during math testing.
