Viveiros Science

1982-2016; almost all teaching in grades 9-12; some in grade 8, university, and community college

During the first year I taught high school, a 9th grader asked, ”Do you go home at night and think of ways to mess with our minds?” I had to answer, yes. I taught because I wanted to help students shape their worldview. Science, like all good poetry, concerns fundamental universal themes. Math is the language in which scientists write the theories that describe their experience of the universe and are as limited and limitless as the metaphors in sonnets.
