Educational epistemology is a necessarily conglomerated amalgamation of parts that forms through humanity’s continued involvement.

I plan on using this question for a math assessment. It is, in my view, an example of an excellent challenge of one’s maths reasoning and knowledge. There is no reason most of the students in a social structure that values the skills necessary to solve this problem couldn’t do so. We, with no reasonable or unreasonable doubt, are not in such a place.
Many of us are in a place to make it true for then and there. Despite the inane ability for the American education system to be obstinately confounding, we possess the wonderous gift of purveyors of learning. Life is the expression of curiosity and our biggest challenge is often directing the amplified abundance of it in the classroom. The more we can allow that energy to be on the growth of learning and challenging ourselves while nurturing the positive, the less we yell at kids, drink whiskey, and pour over faulted data for meetings.
I have yet to meet a person who does not feel accomplishment for solving a challenging problem.
