Teachers of Mathematics
Abstract
There are persons who do not like to teach who are conducting classes in our schools. There are persons who do not like mathematics who have been assigned to handle algebra classes and to instruct in arithmetic. There are men and women who do not understand mathematics yet they are engaged by boards of education to instruct in the subject. There are people with no sympathy for, nor understanding of children's desires and ambitions who daily browbeat their assigned pupils into fearful obedience through routine lessons. There are pedants who asperse educational theory and methods of learning, seeking only to perpetuate in their pupils the memorized meaningless manipulation of symbols that constitutes their entire stock of knowledge. They are blind to the world about them. These are not the teachers of mathematics. But we are teachers of mathematics if we have the following attributes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
