[quote=Anonymous]California has implemented “equity math,” reasoning: “At the time, news reports highlighted features of the CMF that struck me as dubious. That draft explicitly promoted the San Francisco Unified School District’s [b]policy of banishing Algebra I from middle school—a policy grounded in the belief that teaching the subject only in high school would give all students the same opportunities for future success. The document also made a broad presumption that tweaking the content and timing of the math curriculum, rather than more effective teaching of the existing one, was the best way to fix achievement gaps among demographic groups. [/b]Unfortunately, the sheer size of the sprawling document discouraged serious public scrutiny.“ https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/10/california-math-framework-algebra/675509/ Certainly looks like closing the gap from the top down.[/quote]
