Greg Wilson on Nostr: Very frustrating weekend helping my daughter study for a grade 11 math midterm. ...
Very frustrating weekend helping my daughter study for a grade 11 math midterm. Roughly 1/5 of the solutions in the back of the textbook are wrong as a result of poor editing over successive editions; the teacher has acknowledged this but left it up to the students to "figure it out". Hard to think of a more effective way to demoralize a bunch of teenagers who are already struggling with the material. Being able to fix shit like this is a huge argument in favor of open educational resources.
