The drive to 10 is deeply rooted in humans, much the same as the basic drives for 百不一存 11 or shelter, says Christopher He of the University of Chicago.

Text 1
It is curious that Stephen Koziatek feels almost as though he has to justify his efforts to give his students a better future.
Mr. Koziatek is part of something pioneering. He is a teacher at a New Hampshire high school where learning is not something of books and tests and mechanical memorization, but practical. When did it become accepted wisdom that students should be able to name the 13th president of the United States but be utterly overwhelmed by a broken bike Chain?
As Koziatek know, there is learning in just about everything. Nothing is necessarily gained by forcing students to learn geometry at a graffitied desk stuck with generations of discarded chewing gum. They can also learn geometry by asmbling a bicycle.
But he’s also found a kind of insidious prejudice. Working with your hands is en as almost a mark of inferiority. School in the family of vocational education “have hat it’s for kids who can’t make it academically,” he says.
On one hand,that viewpoint is a logical product of America’s evolution.Manufacturing is not the economic engine that it once was.The job curity that the US economy once offered to high school graduates has largely evaporated. More education is the new princi
ple.We want more for our kids,and rightfully so.
