I read this article when it appeared and now it takes on some more significance. Lovely tale but one data point does not a theory prove......i do think that S Mitra is surely on to something important but he works with a wholly different kind of kid than I / we do on these shores. Our kids are numb to problem challenges as they have a disease called 'learned helplessness' that gets in the way of finding most things intriguing or worthy of inquiry for inquiry sake. Discovery math doesn't work because they've got little interest in discovering. Perhaps our school system promotes this or passive TV, whatever it is, it's a rare teacher who can motivate students to be problem solvers once they've done several years of school. To use the language of the article, few of our kids see any need to 'rise out of the well'
