Thanks to share this article. It was a very interesting reading. FYI, in the French speaking Switzerland, they have a math curriculum, problem oriented, with the appropriate books resources.

Beautifully stated, Kathleen -- hear, hear!
For additional reading, I'd also like to recommend "A Mathematician's Lament" by Paul Lockhart.
A (shorter-than-the-book PDF version is available here: www.maa.org/devlin/LockhartsLament.pdf, but also highly recommend reading the (slightly) longer book.
