Talk me down please... "geometry for dummies"

[BCEagle91]

<br>

<p>If a child struggles with proof at the higher level (which the average person does)
having proofs in a geometry class would not have helped. They’re just plain hard.
They do teach a good work ethic, but kids these days have so much more on their
plates than students in the past that I am sure they are picking it up elsewhere.</p>

<p>Previous editions of this book have been used to teach elementary school students and college students formal logic. This might be a better approach as the logic starts out in small steps and the context is generally more familiar. Teaching logic and geometry for the first time at the same time can be confusing because the student is learning two things at the same time and they are quite different.</p>
