Read "a mathematicians lament", by Paul Lockhart. It was originally a short essay (25 pages you can find free online), but expanded into a book that I haven't read yet.

In a similar vein is Shape, by Jordan Ellenberg.

I read a short paper called "Lockheart's Lament", but I didn't realize he had expanded on it. I might have cried about that one. Thanks for the reccomendations!
