Many life lessons come from the Brady Bunch. I still don't play ball in the house, when I'm at a theme park I make sure to lock up valuable architectural drawings, and I try not to be jealous of my siblings like Jan when she screamed, "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!" But forgive me for resorting to petty jealousy over math. In our district, many of the decisions seem to have been made with a math model in mind. Our PLC system was largely based upon a series of decisions made within math PLC's. It would be nice to see examples from another discipline, maybe even Social Studies!
Khan Academy's genesis was generated from a solution to a math problem. I have bro-love for Rob McEntarffer but even in his presentation to an audience made up of largely district Social Studies teachers, the example video used was from a math classroom. Maybe math-centric examples are used because that is all that exists. Let's fix that!
