Mathematician’s Lament” by Paul Lockhart

Summary: The mathematics that [Lockhart] loved and pursued is not taught in K–12 education, but rather formula memorization and training in how to apply it as soon as possible. It’s like presenting music theory to students 5 days a week, one hour a day, all of their K–12 years, without letting them hear music at all.
