SOME HELPS AND HINDRANCES IN TEACHING MATHEMATICS IN THE SECONDARY SCHOOL

It was my good fortune in school and college to come in contact with some exceptionally good teachers and some exceptionally poor ones. The contrasts were so great and the inferences so obvious that I began my work as a teacher in the confident belief that students’ failures were due to inefficient...

I suppose this is the experience of every teacher. With the enthusiasm of youth we tackle our job, confident that we can do it; and when we fail, we distribute the responsibility among ourselves, our pupils, and our subjects. And the responsibility ought to be so distributed, for each has its hare.
