<p>Considering the way that mathematics education in the U.S. is consistently berated in the news, I can’t help but think that a radically different way of teaching math might be frustrating and crazy and…a great thing, in the end, for my kid anyway, who is decidedly not math-inclined, but gradually growing in confidence in a way I haven’t seen before. </p>
<p>The nice thing about Exeter is that kids learn quickly to turn to one another for help. My son has gotten lots of direct instruction from the “math geniuses” in his dorm when he needs it. </p>
