Teaching math, my students and I were always looking for patterns. Patterns can help predict. Patterns offer efficiency and accuracy. Patterns can be a scaffolding to a new understanding.
When the Annunciation School students were shot in church, the mayor was criticized for his response. When Charlie Kirk was shot, we are being criticized and harmed for our response.
There is a dangerous pattern happening. We do not have to wait for the scaffolding to see where this is leading.
