Barbara Shreve is a wonderful Math educator in the Bay Area and an even better friend.

She has taught high school mathematics, written math textbooks, coordinated district math efforts, and is now working in improvement science.

Later in the episode, we chatted about the Washington Post article in last week’s issue of The Highlighter. Though many people believe that the Post did the right thing rescinding its off-the-record policy in this case, Barbara had a different view. After listening to her reasoning, I was persuaded.

Take a listen!
