Francesca Woodman was born in Denver, Colorado in the year 1958 to George and Betty Woodman (Stokic). Her parents were artists who moved the family to Italy where every summer Francesca, and her brother Charlie, were taken out of schools and put into new schools for two years (The Woodman). Charlie had diabetes, which could be fatal; as a result the parents gave more attention to him than to Francesca which allowed her more freedom (The Woodman). Betty and George Woodman went to art museums frequently and brought Charlie and Francesa along and handed them notebooks to leave them alone while they looked at art (The Woodman). This was the time in which Francesca learned to appreciate and like art. She even started drawing self portraits (The Woodman). As a result of the lack of attention she received at home, she made the decision to go to boarding school to get away from the family (The Woodman).

Many people today believe that the math curriculum in the United States is not challenging enough for students. I also believe that. This is because of how we were all brought up in math the same, easy way. This in turn does not help the students who are excelling in math, it only hurts them. Amy Chua states in her book, “While the other kids were learning to count from 1 to 10 the creative American way – with rods, beads, and cones – I taught Sophia addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, and decimals the rote Chinese way. The hard part was displaying the right answer using the rods, beads, and cones” (Chua 8). This shows that how making it easier can help other students, it holds back those that are excelling.
