K–12: Why John Saxon Is the Brightest Star in Math Education
American public schools are full of pedagogical nonsense: New Math, Reform Math, Common Core Math.
If you want the real stuff, look at the textbooks created by John Saxon, writer and publisher. (After 27 years in the military as a jet pilot.)
If you are dismayed by what you find in the public schools, read this short piece about John Saxon's life and magic.
Here is his secret: he loved math and he loved kids. He especially loved bringing them together. He loved creating efficient, enjoyable courses that would inspire children to study more math than they ever imagined possible.
Saxon and Jaime Escalante are two of the most inspirational figures in American education. Both of them were hated by our Education Establishment.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
