Message: From GoLocalProv by Julia Steiny, GoLocalProv MINDSETTER™: Dr. Henry Borenson began his career as a math teacher at Stuyvesant High School in New York City. Like Boston Latin, Stuyvesant uses an exam to cream the best public-school students. For those smartie pantses, algebra was a breeze. Borenson's biggest problem was the constant need to invent intriguing work to challenge his kids. Then he took a job as Math Supervisor in another state. As such, he descended from the lofty reaches of gifted-and-talented programs and became responsible for teaching, well, the rest of us. Like so many young students now as well as back in my day, I developed a profound algebra-aversion. It made me feel so hopelessly inept that I narrowed my college search to those that would not make me take math. http://www.golocalprov.comhttp://beta.golocalprov.com/julia-steiny-the-man-who-made-algebra-childs-play
