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.
