This makes me think of my college freshman Algebra class. I took it because I was attracted to the bold letters that read. For the non math or science major. I thought it was some code for a cakewalk. Instead it was the most rewarding and difficult class. My professor said, "I'm not going to tell you what you are supposed to learn. At the end, you'll tell me." I was horrified, and then loved it. I earned a 4.0, the only time up to that point, in mathematics, and learned that I liked it. Math which I was told over and over again, I'm not good at, because it bored me. Are there any teachers left who think creativity belongs in every discipline.
