I've been trying to get the word out so people can see what I'm doing and have the opportunity to help and boy it is tough because of email filters and all that stuff that blocks my work. I'm not trying to scam anyone, just get the word out so I can make this project go and help a lot of people.
Just today, for example, I was talking to a student that told me in a very honest and sincere way that she hates math. I happen to know because I'm her teacher that she does not have her basic facts memorized and it takes her a while to pull them up and what she does get is wrong about half the time. Because she struggles in her facts, it takes so long, and she gets it wrong so often she has an honest dislike for the subject. Who wouldn't? She then just gives up and really just stops trying. It's a downward spiral. I asked her, "If you knew your facts by heart, how would your life be different?" She responded, "I probably wouldn't hate math and if I was actually good at something I'd probably feel better about myself."
This is not an isolated incident.
This nation and the world need this app. They just don't know about it yet.
Please help me get the word out.
Today I received an email from a crowdfunding PR agency called Space. I've reached out to them on email to gather more info to see if they might be helpful at the right price. We'll see what happens. I think that there is a great story here that could be newsworthy that could catch fire.
Catch you later,
Jim Werner
