Parent. Math coach. Climate science researcher. Software engineer and manager at Microsoft. Investment analyst, trader, and risk manager at hedge funds. Entrepreneur. A forty-five-year-old new teacher.

This is the journey of a first-generation immigrant becoming a math teacher in the United States. This book recounts his Kafkaesque experiences at education school, where he was labeled a white supremacist simply for asking questions. He shares firsthand accounts of teaching math at a public and a private school, offering a panoramic view of the issues surrounding wokeness, coddling, and the lack of accountability in education.

Through the lens of an educator, student, and concerned parent, he critically examines the U.S. education system, drawing on the experiences of the teachers and students he has worked with. His journey through different societies and education systems, and multiple careers-where math was his critical edge-adds depth and credibility to his reflections.
