Who is choosing what "material" works in K12 classes.....

What you're about to read here is true and uncensored ....

... it came to me from a fella I admire and respect that writes math software programs for K12 students.....here is his story:

1. Click the link below (to FL school district) and view a math problem....
http://www.math.com/school/subject2/lessons/S2U3L6GL.html#sm4


2. Please look at the Second Problem and the Answer should be n/4 = 7
but they wrote 1/4n = 7
The correct writing would be (1/4)n = 7 or n/4 = 7

3.
The Definition of a Rhombus is :
A Quadrilateral with four equal sides .
But Math.com has a different Definition :
A Parallelogram with four equal sides.
This is the Definition of a Wet Water !!!
Do you know a dry water ???
It is clear that a Rhombus is a Parallelogram
http://www.math.com/school/subject3/lessons/S3U2L3DP.html

Here is the correct Definition:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombus

4. My Programs for Color Mathematics
have been elected by a School in Sarasota
Florida. The School Principle and Teachers
contacted me by e-mail and reported
their Choice of Color Mathematics Programs.
After one month they wrote me that the
Donator of the 2000 Computers for various
Schools in Sarasota did Not agree to install
"Color Mathematics" but to install "Math.com"
The official Reason : the Program must be Online - this is the most important thing
for a Good School Program !!!
The Computer is Online - is NOT enough !
The Program must be Online !
Have You ever heard of such Nonsense !!!
These Companies are trying to control
the Schools and where is the Ministry
of Education ???
I am sorry that we have reached such
Nasty Situations re-Education !
Teachers - Parents and even Universities
have NOTHING to say anymore !
Companies decide about Education and
what is Best for our Children !
The Evaluation by Teachers of Math.com
is much lower that the Evaluation of
"Color Mathematics"

There you have it folks, big business in education over quality products. Here is a link to the colors Mathematics program.... http://geocities.com/Athens/6172/

Wishing you a safe weekend, Jack

My Dear Friends !
*******************
We all are Teachers and
sometimes make Mistakes !
Never mind !
"Errare humanum est"
But : I wrote the Math.com
in 2009 about his Mistake :

-5x + 3x + 1 >= -14
now look at this :
-(5+3)x + 1 >= -14
a Disaster !!!
it should be :
-(5-3)x + 1 >= -14
Math.com did NOT care
to correct his Mistake !!
This is the Program we
offer our Schools in
Sarasota , our Children
have to learn Mistakes !!!
Never mind Mistakes ...
the Program must be "online"!!
I have only this to say :
Dear GOD !!!
Help us all !!!

I posted an Article
that informs you about
the NSDL.org and its Policy.
As you know the NSDL
receives Millions to help Teachers
to publish their Software
to help other Teachers.
But they seem to have a different
Policy , which is quite transparent !!!
My Article will tell you
what happened with my URL
after one year of Publication !!

I am sure that you understand:
the NSDL receives Money from the
Government to help Teachers-
NOT to protect Software Companies
and delete Free Math Software
from their Data Base !!!

Here is the Final Conclusion:
(1)You pay Taxes to the Government
to help you with good Education
for your Children !
(2) The Government pays huge Amounts of Money to chosen Organizations that have the official Duty to help Teachers
and Parents.
(3) Some - I repeat - some of these
Organizations , instead of helping
Parents and Students , protect
Software Companies from the
"Unfair Competition" of
"Free Math Software" , which is here to help Millions to achieve
good Math-Software for their
Children !
These poor Parents can NOT pay,
because they have NO Money and
they live in a Country that
prevents trading in US$.
It is a well known Policy of
the United States Govenment
to help poor Counties instead
of fighting with them and I assume
that some Organizations do NOT
much to support this Policy !
They must NOT receive one cent
from the Government !!!

Dear dear Jack !!!
*******************
I wish again to thank you that you
enable Teachers and Parents to understand the Real News that
are professionally hidden behind
the "Commercial News" in our World !
I mean , was is really going on ,
and NOT that what Commercial Radios
Televisions and Newspapers are interested to tell us !!!
It is sad enough to now that Newspapers only write about Education when a Teacher or Student
was shut or raped , Education seems
NOT to interest them !!!
Your wonderful Website has ended
this Tragedy !
By the way , I have received great Support from Google and Microsoft
regarding the Publicity of
"Color Mathematics" Software.
I want you to know that it is a Great Pleasure to work with
these Companies, they will give you
all the Support they can !!
Furthermore , I wrote a letter
to President Obama ,asking
him to support by Recommandation
"Color Mathematics" for American
Schools .
China ( San Min High School),
Japan and India and even Tibet
have shown great Interest for
Color Mathematics.
As usual , in America , any great
Invention is surpressed by Competitors , they believe
"Free Math Software" is UNFAIR
Competition !
I wish to remind you : it is
the Policy of the White House
to help poor Children with
good Education, it was so under
G.W.BUSH and it is so under
Barack Obama :
"NO Child left behind"
Barack Obama declared:
"When we all work together
we shall succeed !!!"
Wishing you all the Best ,
keep up the Good Work !

Re- Color Mathematics
***********************
I wish to be Fair and update
my Information about the NSDL .
I wish to take this Opportunity
and thank the NSDL , that they finally registered "Color Mathematics" at the "Mathematical
Sciences Digital Library"
which is part of the NSDL.
I have complained that my Link
was deleted after 2-3 years,
and this Injustice has been
corrected by them !
So, everything is now OK ,
and I wish to thank them again
for registering my Website
"Color Mathematics"
http://colmath1.com

Good Morning Math-Teachers !
****************************
I have informed Math.com
about a Year from now !!
to correct their Solution
given to Students based on the
Mistake , that :
-(5+3)x = -5x + 3x
Unfortunately , they don't
see any Reason to correct their
Mistake !!
I hope that my Post will
help them to correct their
Mistake , before they
make a complete Joke of
themselves !!!

Please look at this Page

"http://www.math.com/school/subject2/lessons/S2U3L6GL.html#sm4"


and view the Solution of :
-5x + 3x + 1 >= -14
This Solution is a kind
of "New Mathematics"
Math.com is teaching our Children !

Here is my final Conclusion
about the NSDL :
"color Mathematics" has over
60 downloadable Software Programs
for FREE ! It has a Color Coded
System which helps the Memory
and gives you more Energy to learn !
The NSDL has registered my Website
www,colmath1.com and published
it for over 3 years !
After this period they
"reorganized" their Website
and deleted my Link !
You may check the huge amount
of Help I receive from
1. Google
2. Yahoo
3. Microsoft
Just search for
"Color Mathematics"
Now, two years ago , I found
myself registered by the
MAA. Mathematical Science Digital
Library , so I was relieved !
But NO !!
The MAA. Mathematical Science
Digital Library is part of
the NSDL.
A week ago I found that they
have deleted me again !
This in spite of the Fact
that my Website is registered
by the Florida State University,
Drexel University,
University of Minnessota
Clayton Univerity , Georgia
and many Teacher Websites !
What kind of Jokes are
these irresponsible Organizations
up to ???
Thanks God we have Google
and Microsoft !
These Organizations receive
a Lot of Money from the Government
- but NOT for these kind
of Jokes !!!!!!
