His one major line is a reference to his main idea in The Myth of Ability: that most people never get a chance because a teacher does not take the time to show them how to learn.Mighton completed a Ph.D. in mathematics at the University of Toronto and was awarded an NSERC fellowship for postdoctoral research in knot and graph theory. He is currently a Fellow of the Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences and has also taught mathematics at the University of Toronto. Dr. Mighton also lectured in philosophy at McMaster University, where he received a Masters in philosophy.In 2004, Mighton was elected as a Fellow of Ashoka in recognition for his work founding JUMP. In 2010, he was appointed an Officer of the Order of Canada.Mighton was born in Hamilton, Ontario on (1957-10-02)October 2, 1957 and lives in Toronto, Ontario with partner Pamela Sinha and daughter Chloe.".
