"A central body," he says, "could be a target." To solve the problem of "making it uncomfortable for people to be slovenly" or "telling the Medicine Hat school board what's going on in math teaching," Gardner suggests increased publicity by state education agencies: "One 30-page booklet could lay out everything new in math teaching." Vice President Alvin...
