Three school districts in San Francisco. We are dismayed to see no sparkling geometry scores
coming from the County Office of Education. Yes, if a child is pregnant, has been expelled, or is in
serious legal trouble, he or she will likely be in the COE. Knowing what an obtuse angle is may not
be the highest priority. Like solar energy, we would not want to claim geometry is a universal
solvent. However, we have managed to teach geometry on six continents without always being able
to speak the language of the audience. For example, aided by a hastily scribbled sheet of Spanish
keywords, we have taught immigrant children here in California the constructions that underlie
Gothic stained glass windows and arches as well as soccer balls. They spoke little or no English,
but did not mind teaching us Spanish. On the other hand, we have also taught in Australia where
we were informed we spoke little or no English.
