I want to apologize for last night's e-mail. I was not in a good mood. I was trying to say that there should not be a one-size-fits-all solution. Some teachers want to be challenged, others only want something to help them teach children. Some love math. Others may be intimidated by numbers and math in any form. A complete turn-off.
