Hi Rashmi --

I'm happy to share curriculum writing, lesson plans, could even see
exchanging personnel down the road.

Our family lived in Thimphu for many years, and Dhaka, both closer to your
neck of the woods, and I still have contacts roaming in those areas, mostly
in the religious studies department (less so in maths).

My on-the-ground work in Portland has shifted from teens to college age and
older adults, with an emphasis on open source and computers, as this is what
Portland, Oregon is known for, is a capital of. **

As you perhaps saw from Martian Math, our geometry is rather deliberately
non-compliant with what's in the state standards these days.

We find that with our demographic (e.g. college age), an up-start
non-cooperative attitude vis-a-vis state standards actually inspires more
brand loyalty and more commitment to study hard.
