Controversy has arisen over a person's claim to be a mathematics professor at Stanford University, which has been refuted by multiple sources amidst accusations of a "reckless disregard for accuracy". Despite what her Instagram suggests, she has no affiliation with Stanford's mathematics department. It was clarified that she is actually a professor of mathematics education at Stanford’s Graduate School of Education, not a math professor. This incident has sparked discussions about the standards of prestigious schools' Graduate Schools of Education (GSEs), criticized for their "pathetically low research standards", and the impact of misleading professional titles on educational integrity.
No, just no. The ridiculous 60s goal has absolutely no educational value. As someone with a B.S. in Mathematics (and a Ph.D. in a mathematical field) , seeing math teachers still peddle this trash just makes my skin crawl. This is how you kill kids' interest in math. Do… https://t.co/Jr8FnZu0bL
She’s a professor of mathematics education at Stanford’s graduate school of education, not a math professor. One of higher ed’s bizarre known-but-not-known secrets is that prestigious schools run these GSEs with pathetically low research standards. https://t.co/RlYZZnIM0n
Lol. Destroying math education and calling oneself a “Maths prof at Stanford” with no affiliation with the Stanford math department. We are living through especially stupid times. https://t.co/0rR1qSsF2U
In the midst of this “reckless disregard for accuracy” thing, I’d like to point out that despite what her Instagram page might suggest, she actually has no affiliation with the Stanford mathematics department. https://t.co/LTBjyGRR5f
In the midst of this “reckless disregard for accuracy” thing, I’d like to point out that despite what her Instagram page might claim, she is not a mathematics professor at Stanford and from what I’ve been told by actual math faculty, has no affiliation with the math department. https://t.co/vZhaoiqNDn
