Sorry to get so close to "off topic" but: There are persistent rumours that the U.S. Air Force, which has a massive educational system, including teacher-training, does a far and away better job of "education" than the "public school system." You don't have to be outstandingly intelligent to join the Air Force, either, and it seems to be able to cope with a wide variety of students. a) are the rumours false? b) if not, is the success a function of subject matter rather than their approach to teaching, and hence presumably inapplicable to teaching Statistics? I am not, nor have I ever been, in the Air Force, and hence I am unable to shed any light on the matter, but for DECADES I have been picking up rumours that something about their educational system WORKS. -------------------------------------------------------------- "I would predict that there are far greater mistakes waiting to be made by someone with your obvious talent for it."
