And so people don't struggle so much with it in our system.

And I think that we've heard story after story of a student that's come through.

Just last week, I was in Orlando, and someone told me that my daughter was struggling with mathematics.

They went through your system.

they weren't just struggling with mathematics, but they were struggling with school altogether.

And after they came through your system, not only did they do better at mathematics, they did better at all subjects.

And they were no longer struggling with school.

School was easy for them.

Well, I mean, I think that the idea is that mathematics has been taught the same way for thousands and thousands of years.

And it could be that no one's really sat down to think about how to teach in a different way.

And it wasn't even really me that started this.

It was these professors out of the School of Education over at the University of Denver.

Mm-hmm.

they have all these activities that were designed to teach math conceptually.

And that's kind of the same idea as teaching mathematics as a language.

It's just, it sounds a lot better in a research paper to say I'm teaching it conceptually.

Sure.

Or in a podcast.

But really what it is, is it's teaching mathematics as a language.

And it's like this red room, right?
