I see real danger in the conclusions we see world wide based off of these single stories.

Without a perspective outside of our own or the one presented to you, then your potential for creative thought and contribution is stunted. https://padlet.com/amykinderilovemath/afnhwj1vi4ht/wish/303516000 2018-11-12 23:47:23 UTC https://padlet.com/amykinderilovemath/afnhwj1vi4ht/wish/303516000 Amanda amandaplaizier https://padlet.com/amykinderilovemath/afnhwj1vi4ht/wish/303516012 Single stories can be dangerous when creators/justifiers of stereotypes.  BUT sometimes one story is all you have access to, especially as a child.

If I only tell the single story of how I struggled with math as 10th grade student, then that story limits my ability to teach math as a 6th grade teacher. https://padlet.com/amykinderilovemath/afnhwj1vi4ht/wish/303516149 2018-11-12 23:48:09 UTC https://padlet.com/amykinderilovemath/afnhwj1vi4ht/wish/303516149 Carrie https://padlet.com/amykinderilovemath/afnhwj1vi4ht/wish/303516376 Stories are powerful so-yes-one story can be dangerous.
