Stop saying ‘I am bad at math’ I have an old T-shirt lying around that I used to wear on a regular basis. It is bright red and reads, "I Love Math." This T-shirt usually inspired strong reactions from students at the school where I was teaching, as well as people I passed in the marketplace. Most of their responses were either, "I can’t stand math" or "I am really bad at math." In fact, I don’t even need to wear my T-shirt to get a response like that anymore. When people find out my job title, it evokes all kinds of horrible stories about their inadequacies sur- rounding mathematics. There is great news for each of you — you really know more math than you realize and you are capable of being successful in algebra and higher. Not only that, it is time for everyone to stop proclaiming this inadequacy like it is not a big deal — it is a huge deal, especially to the success of our country in this glob- al economy. Unfortunately, it has become socially acceptable to proclaim, "I was never any good at math." It is time to reverse the inhibitions regarding our mathematical inabili- ties that are spreading from genera- tion to generation with reckless abandon. My message to every adult who influences children is this: It is Police reports The following informa- tion is compiled from Red Bluff Police Department, Tehama County Sheriff’s Department, Corning Police Department and California Highway Patrol.

Our children are the real losers in this situation, as they live up to the expecta- tions we have set for our- selves and, without realiz- ing it, for our children as well. Their attitudes about mathematics have been negatively affected, and many students have been turned-off from a subject that is both wondrous and powerful.

Collision •A Corning woman was flown to Enloe Med- ical Center in Chico with major injuries following a Sandberg In a global economy, our children require instruction that promotes engagement in problem solving, reasoning, com- municating, making con- nections, and using mul- tiple representations of mathematical ideas. They need opportunities to engage in mathemati- cal discussions that pro- mote the exploration and growth of mathematical ideas and they need to utilize technology or other tools. Our children deserve the best. Start today by taking a look at those websites found in the above link and begin an adventure into the world of a subject you may have never even considered wondrous. Start experiencing, along with your child, the joy of mathematics.

Brandee Knowles, 19, was driving east on Rowles Road when for unknown reasons she allowed her vehicle to drift into the opposing lane, directly into the path of Rodolfo Cortez, 61, of Chico. Cortez, who was in the westbound lane of Rowles, was unable to avoid a collision and the two vehicles hit head-on, causing major damage to both. Alcohol was not involved. Fight • Further investigation into a Jan. 12 fight has led police to file charges against three boys who were involved. Officers had been sent to the fight in the 600 block of Fig Lane, but the involved parties had fled the scene prior to their arrival. Through initial investiga- tion talking to witnesses on scene it was deter- mined that several teenage boys, some of whom were gang members, had been involved in the fight. Fur- ther investigation led to officers taking a 16-year- old and 17-year-old boy into custody on Thursday. The boys were taken to Juvenile Hall where a third boy involved in the fight had already been placed into custody on unrelated charges prior to Thursday. Charges are being filed on all involved parties for participating in criminal street gang, bat- tery, brandishing a deadly weapon other than a firearm and assault with a deadly weapon other than a firearm. The investiga- tion is on-going. Fire • A debris-fire reported at 8:33 a.m. Friday on Sherwood Boulevard, authorized retailer 530-528-8120 10 Gilmore Rd.
