You may have heard about the court ruling on Thursday ordering Seattle Public Schools to re-examine their use of a certain set of “reform math” books in local high schools (here’s the story from our partners at the Seattle Times). This morning, we’ve learned that retired math teacher Martha McLaren, one of the three people who took the case to court, is a West Seattle resident. She has a blog-format website with their reaction to the ruling – one of her co-plaintiffs is famous forecaster Cliff Mass – and previous updates, at seattlemathgroup.blogspot.com. The school district, which told the Times the ruling was “surprising,” is deciding whether to appeal.
