Great middle of the road perspective

I’m so happy to have found this podcast. I was looking for something more middle of the road in math education vs the 1-sided perspectives that dominate among the NCTM crowd. This podcast is a breath of fresh air.

One-sided and obtuse

The bias of this podcast towards direct instruction and against student-focused classroom is instantly obvious. I came here to learn more about the science of math, and instead found a parade of similar-minded guests who only wanted to parrot the same lines and knock down straw-man arguments for the folks who might oppose them. Interesting if you want to hear what one-sided thinking sounds like, but not worth a listen otherwise.
