Anxious female math teachers???

I saw this on Deb Russell's Math blog on about.com . . . According to a research study at the Univesrity of Chicago, female elementary school teachers who are anxious about math may undermine girls' confidence and unwittingly encourage them to believe that boys are better at math than girls.

We need to work more diligently to hook our girls on math and help them understand that those positive attitudes go a long way to seeing success in math!
