Jim Simons founded MƒA in 2004. His commitment to education profoundly impacted the lives of thousands of teachers + students. MƒA will always be guided by Jim’s respect for teachers as true professionals + his firm belief that great teachers must know the subjects they teach.
It is with great sadness that the Simons Foundation announces the death of its co-founder and chair emeritus, James Harris Simons. Jim was an award-winning mathematician, a legendary investor and a generous philanthropist. simonsfoundation.org/2024/05…

On a sphere, if you start at ANY point, and set off along a geodesic in ANY direction, you will ALWAYS return to exactly where you started, facing in THE SAME direction.
But spheres are exceptional. Even on an ellipsoid with two axes the same, the meridians and the equator are…

Over 90% of Finnish teachers remain in education for entirety of career. We don’t have 90% make it through one year. They also teach 50% less hours with remainder for planning, multiple recesses, autonomy at school level, limited teacher eval's & are treated like professionals!

She sounds like an incredible person. Such a loss to her family and students. Though a meaningful tribute, probably doesn’t even come close to appropriately honoring her. Heart goes out to her loved ones. Thinking of all our brothers and sisters we lost.
