As for the sig fig problem, there is a contrast between the High School and
college freedom. I, as a HS teacher, have a wide range of freedom but am
still
held to some pretty tight standards on what will be emphasized. In my county,
sig figs are a big thing. Sometimes my personal opinion (like sig figs) and
the county standards do not match. We are tasked to prepare our students for
all colleges and not a specific course with the beliefs of one
instructor. And
yes it does get in the way sometimes but this is the nature of public
education. My origional question with this thread was inspired by my
desire to
do the best job I can in my class with the school's standards. Hopefully, I
will succeed.
