Love this essay. I read it years ago when my brother was working with Paul Lockhart, who deeply influenced him as a math teacher.

My brother and his wife have since started an organization called Math For Love (http://www.mathforlove.com) focused on changing the way math is taught. They run workshops for teachers and provide great material for students.

If you're in Seattle and interesting in pedagogy and math, you should check them out.
